Yesterday it was US embassies in Egypt [4], Libya [5], Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Lebanon [6], India, Balgadesh, Indonesia [7], and others that were besieged and/or attacked. Today, we finally add Afghanistan to the "and others" list. From the LA Times [8]: "Rioters infuriated by an anti-Islam video clashed with police in the Afghan capital on Monday, setting cars and tires ablaze and chanting anti-American slogans. Police blocked off the traffic circle closest to the U.S. Embassy and other diplomatic missions, and most Westerners working in Kabul were ordered by their organizations to try to stay out of public view. Monday’s unrest broke out when about 1,000 people gathered near an American base on the capital’s eastern edge and began marching toward the city. Police fired shots into the air to try to disperse the crowd, but the protesters continued to surge forward." In other words, just another American appreciation day.
As the clip below shows, protesters were burning US flags and posters of the US president, chanting "Death to America! Death to Obama!"
