By the way the untold millions would have nothing to do with this incident either.
Deny ignorance.
We didn't defile the Koran, the terrorists who wrote in it did.
According to Islam a proper way of disposing of a defiled Koran is burning it. Much like the proper way of disposing of an American flag.
Your Muslim apologist angle is sickening.

Whether Taliban, Afghan, Russian, European, American, Australian or wherever, if you EXPECT a citizen of another country to respect your laws, and punish them when they do not, then when one of your citizens commits a crime in their countries, it is only fair they are punished according to those laws, no matter how bizarre.
EDIT: That being said, I do not condone stonings, executions, or any other barbaric forms of punishment....but if you are in a country where it happens, then it really is your own stupid fault if you get yourself into that predicament.edit on 26/2/12 by woogleuk because: (no reason given)

Evidently the US may have agreed to trying those responsible for burning the Korans.This won't sit well at home, not to mention among the troops. Who is going to be tried those that gave the order or those that carried out the order? Maybe both ?
But they won't do s**t to get the individual who shot and killed 2 Americans inside the Ministry of Interior or the one who threw a grenade wounding 7 soldiers. Or to the Taliban who are now claiming they poisioned the food supply.

Nobody will be tried. What they did is not a crime by American law. It was stupid and shouldn't have happened, but it's not against the law and there's no way something like this is going to get prosecuted on American troops. Just won't happen.
Karzai knows this, but he has to say the right things for his own internal political situation. If he doesn't say this sort of thing it will make him look bad to his own people. They know he can't really push Americans around too much, but as long as he's seen to be standing up to us it makes him look good in their eyes.

Actually they aren't under Afghanistan law. They are covered under a status of forces agreement.
Still nothing about the Muslims who wrote in the books when its forbidden to do so.. They have killed 4 service members who were not even involved in the Quran issue.. Again I see no actions to bring those people to justice.
What this incident has shown is that the Taliban has more influence and control over the people than the government does. Once we withdraw, its going to go back to the way its always been.
sad.
