U.S. Ambassador and three others killed in Libya.

[Lemur]

Yeah, I'm not in any way saying that the responses here are inappropriate, just that I don't understand them. Literally.

Our people were assassinated yesterday, official condemnation from PotUS and SecDef went out today, CT teams are being sent to the region, and Libya has apologized (and Egypt, notably, has not).

Very fluid situation. Personally, I would rather not hear thundering pronouncements from our government until they're quite certain about (a) what actually went down, and (b) what they intend to do about it.

But I get the sense from the responses back here that this is considered unacceptable. So I'm not baiting, and I'm not arguing, I'm asking: What would an appropriate response look like?

-edit-

Missed your post, @Fisherking, apologies. You do a good job of answering my question, so thank you. I don't agree, but at least now I understand.
