U.S. amps up hunt for killers of ambassador, other Americans in Libya

By the CNN Wire Staff

The hunt for those who killed U.S. diplomatic staffers in Libya will include warships and surveillance drones as outraged Americans and Libyans deplore the violent killings.

The slain U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, helped save Libya's eastern city of Benghazi during last year's revolution. He died there Tuesday night, along with another diplomat and two State Department security officers, when a mob stormed the U.S. Consulate and set it ablaze.

    Besides emerging as a regional power, the time has come for Pakistan to take the leadership role in the Islamic World and lead them to the path of progress, prosperity and glory. The only nuclear nation in the Islamic World, Pakistan has shown the world that it can stand up to the nuances of world politics on principles and partake in global affairs. Also, that it can equally contribute to the progress of this planet called Earth. The sacrifices of the Pakistani nation in making this world safe are unmatched and deserves a seat at the table of the permanent members of The UN Security Council.

    This is result of blind american politics in all World. He was (ambassador) , as you Pentagon dictionary says: Collateral damage of US policy ... as you use that word in Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan. Average US citizen doesn't know basic information's in geography but he has HIS interest in every corner of this world. Well that's so arrogant and stupid – and producing more enemies all over as you can neutralize. So at the end, you will close your borders, live in fear because every person that surround you is terrorist, and have you cheap gasoline... and your Patriotic Act. You will have your victory but at the same way you will be defeated.
    I'm sorry for his family and his life (and for any human – that you will kill in next months to show your citizen that you have revenged his death.. support one regime to destroy another.
    At the end we (the rest of the World) will save you from yourselves!

    I am getting bad vibes reading about Hindus and Indians and their culture. I have read up on them as well and don't like what I see. How can our government be supporting India, a culture so brutal and anti women, children and minorities. I have put in a call to our congressional delegation and emailed them as well opposing any further financial aid/support of any kind to India. We Americans cannot condone such archaic cultures. I urge all Americans to contact their congress people and voice their concerns regarding India.

      Well, let's see, why would the U.S. want to be friends with India? THEY AREN'T. But as far a religion goes, Hindus are nothing like what you have read. Agreed, Hinduism has the caste system, but every religion has them. Judging by what you have said, I will now go and judge the fact that Christians will kill anybody who works on Sundays, as is written by the bible. Oh, yeah, and India is currently in a border war with the country who harbored Osama bin Laden. I'm not saying it's Pakistan's fault, but that only raises the level of trust the United States have for them
