The Haunting Death and double victimization of Chris Stevens

The details are so horrific, I wonder how his family can stand knowing about them without being torn apart inside.  This wonderful man was tortured and violated in the vilest way but what's even more devastating is our reaction to this horrendous crime.  Where is the outrage?  Where is grief over losing an American representative in this atrocious manner?  The whole country should have been talking about this instead of Romney's so called gaffes, but I guess that was more important to the shameless, biased, and frankly grotesque media who only have one agenda and that is to re-elect Mr. Obama come hell or high water.  Mr. Stevens and the other American heroes endured martyrdoom for nothing.  They were abandoned to their fates and left without protection whatsoever in one of the most dangerous and volatile countries in the world despite voicing their fears that the terrorists had been sending them threats for over a week.  And they were victimized again by us with our mute reactions to the killings.  It was easier to blame it on a video, to apologize to the terrorists repeatedly, and to go on with business as usual.  Where is the justice for our citizens?  Where is the punishment for their killers?  Are they laughing at us in their den of snakes and planning other spectacular killings?  You bet they are and who could blame them when they have us cowered and apologizing for our existence?  Has Libya even been told that all monies will be stopped till the killers are brought to justice?  Has Egypt, who has all but declared itself an enemy of ours, paid any price whatsoever?  Has the President addressed the nation in this hour of grief?  Or was he simply too busy to bother?  Insulting the sovereignty of the nation is an act of war yet we were the ones apologizing for a video that had nothing to do with their murderous rage.  Mr. Stevens and the other American heroes will continue to haunt this nation for a very long time to come because we failed them miserably, but most of all we failed ourselves, and that's our shame and punishment.
