U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told me this morning on "This Week" that the United States is not "impotent" in the face of violent protests sweeping the Muslim world being aimed at American interests.
"We're not impotent,were not even less popular to challenge that assessment" said Rice. " What happened this week in Cairo, in Benghazi and many other parts of the region was a result, a direct result, of a heinous and offensive video that was widely disseminated, that the U.S. government had nothing to do with, which we have made clear is reprehensible and disgusting."
President Obama has been very public since the start of his presidential term that he intended to heal relations with the Middle East that were damaged during the Bush administration.
Ambassador Christopher Stevens, along with three other Americans, were killed in Libya following an assault on the American consulate in Benghazi that came on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The attack was followed shortly after an incident in neighboring Egypt in which protesters – angry about a film that depicts the Prophet Mohammed as a fraud — scaled the walls of the U.S embassy and tore down the American flag.
