At a certain point in time this is nothing more than kidnapping isn't it? This guy attacked the US Embassy in Libya, and broke the law in Libya. He needs to be arrested in Libya, detained in Libya, charged there, and put on trial there. He hasn't broken any US laws, nor does the US have the right to just grab someone in a foreign country.
Right?
I mean, if someone attacked the Norwegian embassy in the US, Norway doesn't have the legal right to invade the US and kidnap a US citizen. If this happened the US would be up in arms over it.

Even if what you said is true, which it isn't, what is Libya going to do about it? Yeah, thought so.
In your Norway example, we would already have that guy in custody, whereas Libya is in no position to do anything about it. And if Norway wanted said person, they would go through the proper channels and something would be worked out. Again a position that Libya is not in.
