Oh, ignorant old europe...
I won't say I condone the burning of embassies or any violence, but really, that was really dumb. Really, really dumb. Weighing the cost-benefit of what would happen when you run a Cartoon making fun of the prophet Muhammad, I would say that the possibility to offend an already agitated region might be taken into consideration. Just a thought, considering that a.) about 5% of the people of that region already officially hated you, and now the other 95% is pretty pissed off. So well done. There are first ammendment rights, and then there is inciting violence, which is definitely not a right. Nice job by the governments in not recognizing that, and so, good luck rebuilding those embassies.
