It was the wrong and cowardly thing to do. It was extreme. When all is said and done, it will not contribute to the accomplishment any possible goal held by the perpetrators of the murders. But the situation is much more complicated than that (much, much more complicated) and requires more than a simple ‘John Wayne’ response from a reputedly ‘responsible’ and ‘respectable’ public figure for such a response accomplishes no more toward a resolution than the initial, violent action.
Let’s start at the beginning. A film. A piece of ‘entertainment’ or ‘diversion’, if you will. Whether or not in the guise of educational or informational material, merely a film. Offensive to someone? Hell yes!. An excuse that someone with an agenda may use to further their cause, however justified or unjustified it may be. (More on that later.)
So a film was made and exhibited via the Internet. The origin of the film is extremely hazy and involves individuals from many and disparate origins including a former Marine and longtime religious-right activist (from a group called Courageous Christians United), a Coptic Christian, 15 key players from the Middle East) Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Pakistan, Iran), an alleged Israeli-born, 56-year-old, Jewish writer and director and who knows how much of this information is accurate. In any case, all or many involved are now quite frightened of the backlash their venture has unleashed.
First and foremost, in reasonable, rational and educated 2012, a film is a film. A document conceived, written, performed, directed, filmed, manufactured and distributed by human beings. Mere human beings. Nothing more, nothing less. Irrespective you spiritual, religious or cultural beliefs, in reasonable, rational and educated 2012, a film is still a film. Nothing more. Any ‘holy’ book that instructs one to kill another over a matter such as this is surely misguided at best. In fact, most ‘holy’ books, to the best of my knowledge, instruct their readers to be merciful; to forgive. In short, be virtuous; the better man and set the example as opposed to reactionary, vengeful, vindictive and violent.

The richest 400 Americans own as much as the bottom 150 million put together. And these multimillionaires and billionaires are now actively buying the 2012 election—and with it, American democracy.
750 people at GS Technologies lost their jobs thanks to a bad deal engineered by Bain Capital. 15 million lost jobs after the cumulative deal-making of the entire financial sector pushed the whole economy off a cliff. Comparatively, Solyndra was a rounding error.
In 2011, America's top fifty financial CEOs got a 20.4 percent pay hike, even as the wages of most Americans continued to drop.
Welcome to the new Gilded Age, where buoyant rich men with flashy white teeth, raging wealth and a measured disdain for anyone lacking those attributes and challenge their own primary opponent to a $10,000 bet and referring to their wives'' several Cadillacs.
Something much like the robber barons of the Gilded Age complete with political power has now returned with a vengeance.
(based upon the writings of Robert Reich)
