And so basically you have 3 options to consider when faced with the ire of Muslim rage.

1) Attempt to appease them (As Condoleeza Rice did)

2) Provoke them further.

or number 3

3) Ignore them.

What do you think happens when we simply ignore them? When they find out that their little hissy fits get no reaction from us?

I respectfully disagree with both you and section9 - I believe the proper response would have been simply "no response".

Further, Dr. Rice's comments both disregarded and further convoluted our own freedoms and our rights as citizens.

Dr. Rice is in no postion to demand that any American citizen hold the Koran in reverence.

Years from now, this will be seen as one of the many battles in the war on terrorism ie. "resurgent Islamic fascism" that we lost.

I don't fault her for trying to throw water on a fire - American military and civilian personnel were seriously endangered by the false story.
