I agree about the "fruits of freedom"

I would only add that the fruit is sweetest when it is achieved through self-sacrifice and a commitment to the cause by the population of a nation rather than through invasion and occupation, which has unintended (but not unanticipated) consequences.

In this case, the consequences for the US were expressed in the act by the reporter and the thousands (or millions) of Muslims who support it.

And if we just brush it off in the name of the fruits of freedom, we are turning a blind eye to a signficiant problem....the worst image of the US in the Middle East in decades as a result of our actions in Iraq, our actions at Gitmo, etc.
