The Latest From the Middle East

Jordanian protesters burn a U.S. flag during a protest against an amateur film mocking Islam near the U.S. embassy in Amman on September 14, 2012.
Since a video ridiculing the prophet Mohammed appeared on YouTube, anti-American protests have erupted in the Middle East. The violence led to the death of the U.S. ambassador in Libya, the storming of the U.S. embassy in Yemen and clashes with riot police. What does this mean for the future of U.S.-Middle Eastern relations? Should the U.S. get further involved? How do we balance democracy with diplomacy?
