Hillary gets tough on Libya -- with philosophy

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, one day after the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Libya that left four Americans dead: How can something like this happen, anyway?

From a Times247.com posting: “How can this happen in a country we help liberate, in a city [Benghazi] we helped save from destruction?” Clinton said that question “reflects just how complicated, and at times, how confounding the world can be.”

Oh boy. We've got chaos at our embassies, four dead, and an American body being dragged through the streets of Benghazi to the cheers of madcap Islamists, and get-tough Hillary wants to wax philosophical on the complexities of the world.

Good show. That ought to curb the violence. What's next, Hillary? A U.S.-sponsored lecture at the United Nations entitled, "Why Can't We All Get Along?"
