Wait, how is this one of the US's greatest foreign policy disasters? It was definitely a significant loss for the U.S. diplomatic corps, and one of only a handful of times where an ambassador has been killed, but despite that, Chris Stevens's death did not materially change the facts on the ground in Libya, or in the arabic speaking world in general. In terms of geopolitics, as tragic as the attack in Benghazi was, it hasn't amounted to much. If nothing else, the drone wars in Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan are considerably more consequential.
