Default U.S. Ambassador to Serbia Angered

So, why in the world do we EVER do anything to help out the rest of the world??? It's always the U.S. that gets called on by the UN, NATO, the EU and other countries to help out militarily when they are having a problem. Then---when it's all over, they totally abandon us. Perhaps it's time for the rest of the world to take care of their OWN freaking problems!!! The U.S. is always (*)(*)(*)(*)ed if they do; and (*)(*)(*)(*)ed if they don't!!! And I'm personally getting rather sick of that ungrateful attitude.

U.S. ambassador to Serbia calls for better protection after embassy attacked


BELGRADE, Serbia (CNN) -- The United States' ambassador to Serbia on Sunday called on the country's leaders to do more to protect foreign diplomatic missions after the U.S. Embassy was attacked by protesters demonstrating against Kosovo's declaration of independence.

Serbs opposed to Kosovo's independence storm the U.S. Embassy in Belgrade Thursday.

"I'm very angry at what happened," Ambassador Cameron Munter said of the riots Thursday when protesters smashed windows and set fire to part of the building, The Associated Press reported. "It had better not happen again."

The U.S. Embassy has evacuated all of its nonessential personnel and their families after protesters, a spokesman told CNN.

"The response on Thursday was clearly insufficient, not just to our embassy, but to the embassies of other countries," spokesman Bill Wanlund said.

"In addition to the U.S. Embassy, protesters attacked other Western interests including the embassies of Britain and Germany, as well as a McDonald's restaurant and Nike shop."
