re: #317 Bulworth

Another point I haven’t heard anyone mention is the role of the host government in ensuring some measure of security around an embassy. Embassies aren’t fortresses built to withstand any kind of attack. They depend to an extent on the good will of the host country, and obviously if the U.S. is at odds with a particular country that’s why, or at least one reason why, they would withdraw their embassy personnel or not have an embassy in a particular country.

Benghazi wasn’t the embassy though. Just making note of that.
