This is going WAY over the line!
 

I can put up with a lot of things, but when something that is so American and representative of the American people is attacked, then I say "Remember The Alamo!"

ISTANBUL, Turkey (CNN) -- A bomb exploded outside a McDonald's restaurant in Istanbul Thursday evening, and authorities defused two homemade bombs outside one of the company's restaurants in Rome, police in Turkey and Italy said.

Oh the HUMANITY!!!

Reading the following brought a torrent of tears to my eyes!

Speaking to shareholders at the company's Oak Brook, Illinois, headquarters, McDonald's President and CEO Charlie Bell said the company has "great security" in place at its restaurants, but he would not discuss details of Thursday's events.

"We are a symbol of America, a proud symbol of America," Bell said. "We were born here and have been transplanted all around the world with a bit of different local flavor and flair, and when people are looking for symbols of America, companies like ours do pop up from time to time. But we take this very seriously."

The world is really goin' a little crazy. With bombs here and there.:(
