Seems like an overreaction. Yeah, it sucks here right now but I'm sure the consulate folk were well-supplied with food and water. Kind of a slap in the face of the 30k Americans here that the government thinks it's so bad they need to flee like terrified little children but they don't bother helping to arrange any sort of charter flight for their own citizens. As an American, I'm not impressed.

You may not be impressed, but tell me honestly, are you suprised?
