Please, Mr. President, I truly need your reason for insisting a 15-minute movie trailer could cause Muslim extremists to kill our people (in Libya) and attempt more murders all over the Muslim territory.

I understand movies can have a lot of power and influence. During World War II at age 16, I remember watching the movie titled, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli.” I immediately lied about my age and was sworn into the Marines. But, Mr. President, that movie lasted for a couple of hours, not a dinky 15 minutes.

Mr. President, are you lying to us? Don’t you realize that many of those Muslim folks really hate us just because?

Mr. President, are you a Muslim extremist sympathizer? If it takes a movie to start murdering other humans, the one Hitler watched preceding the killing of 7 million of his own people must have been an all nighter.
