[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1136839, member: 28856"] I don't care who the president is, if an embassy is attacked every available resource should be sent in an attempt to help, be it just a fly over. If by the time word gets to anyone who has say the event is already over fine, do nothing, but if it's still going on why not send the people to help? If the situation changes while people are in transit so be it, people can be recalled before they get there. The fact that people wanted to go while things were still going on, but were told not to bothers me. Sure it might have ended up much worse, though I have a much harder time blaming an administration if they sent people in an attempt to save and it went wrong than if people were told not to go even though it could have made a difference. It never sits well with me if people die, but I certainly feel better about someone dying while protecting others, than others dying without any hope of help. [/QUOTE]
