U.S. Officers Killed in Afghanistan

[angsniper]

Don't worry. I'm sure the afghanistan government will apologize.

BTW those "Korans" we're actually little scraps of paper that some of the detainees had written verses from the Koran on.

Really?

I don't know why we are trying to help them have a democracy when they haven't even gone through the renaissance.

I couldn't agree more.

Gen. McCaffrey says it best:

Retired Army Gen. Barry McCaffrey called the shooting deaths of two American advisers in Afghanistan "outrageous" on NBC Nightly News on Saturday and said the killings demonstrate the "shallow impact [the United States] has on this primitive society."

I was just passing on info I received. Wouldn't doubt if I were wrong or those pics could be from a different event. No matter because PRIMITIVE is a very good way to describe the Afghanis. This war will never end if our goal is a unified democratic state.

Wonder what the reactions would be if some Muslims burned bibles in St.Peter's Square?

FD would put out the flames and everyone would go on with their lives. It's a book, you can buy another one just like it for very little cash.

And an American flag? A copy of the Constitution?

if you're going to occupy a country they either have to love or fear you.

Obviously Afghanistan does neither. This would normally narrow the response criteria a bit, but our President is practicing his curtsey.

We're the civilized country in this little dust-up. Couldn't we just teach kids in school that it isn't prudent to burn holy books and piss on the dead? I mean, I'm just thinking out loud here.
