I find it incredibly lazy and simple minded to riot and kill people who WERE NOT EVEN INVOLVED. Killing someone over the burning of a book is silly. But even if it were reasonable, they should have gone after the burners themselves. Or their bosses. Rioting and killing random NATO people at NAT

There are procedures for proper handling and destruction of Korans. Not that such handling isn't open for abuse either as an individual soldier's expression of frustration or anger, or as a purposeful psy-ops tactic. But, according to the information released so far, the lucky guys that had the

Doesn't matter why it upsets people -- it does, and the military should know that by now. Didn't they have some similar problem at Guantanamo? I am not sure how American military personnel happened to have surplus Korans in the first place, but anyone who was in a position to dispose of them shoul

OK. How about this hypothetical? You were there. You saw them try to rob him. He pulls out his gun and shoots them all. Instead of one of the shots missing, it hits you. Wouldn't be very happy, I don't think. I know. I know. You will say it is the criminals' fault, which it is, but the
