So the Afghans are upset about those Korans being burned to dispose of them. Some of them are borderline rioting. Now, I understand that they are really upset about other things and are using the book burning as an excuse to act like fools, but killing people over it is ridiculous.
I could understand, sort of, if some random person got pissed and shot those two US officers, but the Taliban has taken credit for it. Keeping in mind that they are currently in negotiations with the US to be a recognized political party ..... what in Allah's name were they thinking? What did they think that will get them? They are not in a very good bargaining position to begin with. Now the US has more leverage against them. Am I missing something? I am completely baffled. I would make some comment about religion making people do stupid things, but, come on, we know it's not about religion. Are the Taliban all insane, or are they just that shitty at politics? If I were Obama, I would tell them to go fsck themselves and come back when they think they can behave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:347374 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
