Someone else might pipe up that murder is not real and so our concern over our murdered diplomats is wrong. These sorts of discussions are best conducted on a philosophy board. I don't see their value here.What does have merit, in my opinion, is the question of how we should react when people riot over a statement or a film or a cartoon. Some here have condemned the filmmaker and urge some sort of restraint of free speech to prevent violence. Others have argued that we should not restrict free speech because of the threat of violence. I do not see how we as a nation can tip toe around the sensitivities of others without damaging our free speech rights in the long run. Appeasement will lead to greater demands for restrictions on our freedoms..</blockquote>
