It looks like in response to this attack is an apology from the state department about whatever made the attackers mad. Odd.
Press Release | Embassy of the United States
Obama gave Israel Iron Dome to increase their security and increased their foreign aid. I suppose you were not aware of that.
Ok, it was a really bad way to make a point that I was trying to make.
The protesters were contained and any deaths/injuries would have accelerated and intensified the violence.
"Dozens of riot police lined up along the embassy walls. They did not stop protesters who continued to climb up the wall and stand on it, chanting. But it appeared they were no longer going into the embassy compound."
It wouldn't accomplish anything that's why, sure you could kill a few protestors but ultimately just anger them all the more and increase the potential for violence. There's no indication that after they bounded the wall that any further attempt was made to get inside the embassy itself.
According to the BBC and other sources salafists, a type of hardline fundamentalist and often violent Muslim belief group, were involved and perhaps motivated the attack. BBC News - Egypt protesters breach US embassy over 'insulting' film
What needs to be done is work with the Egyptian authorities to crack down on these guys by influencing them through diplomatic means, a carrot and stick approach, the US gives aid to Egypt and if Egypt cannot guarantee our embassy's security then that aid because leverage. There are ways to get Egypt to work with us against this hardliner portion of their population, and I'll tell you nothing would come of bloodshed by our Marines in the embassy expect further problems.

A US official has been killed and others wounded after militiamen stormed the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi, security officials say.

It is thought nobody was in the consulate at the time. Protests have also been held at the US embassy in the Egyptian capital, Cairo.
So, appeasement is the newest national security strategy?
It's time for some retaliation.

They breached the embassy wall, so obviously they weren't contained. They should have never been allowed to make it across the wall. This is an attack on American soil and the ambassador sat back and did nothing to stop it.
