Petraeus talked about suspending constitutional rights, it doesn't matter if he was talking about one instance or a 1000. As for burning the Koran I see a need for it, especially since our leaders have run like rabbits from the muslims on the subject. If everyone had left well enough alone, let the guy do his bragging and shouting and not made a big deal out of it, it would have gone away, no one would have trashed our rights and no Korans would have burned. As it turned out the MSM and the government both made a big deal out of it, at the same time affirming the 1st amendment rights of muslim terrorists to build on GZ.

Burning Korans in itself doesn't matter, telling us we can't, or shouldn't, and cowering in their holes does matter.

Save your breath(or fingers) on an answer. You won't convince me I am wrong and you won't convince me that our leaders, both military and govermental, didn't act out of cowardice.

Of course nobody should cower in holes, and of course the government and military leadership is full of cowards.

All I’m saying is I don’t see any strategic advantage in burning korans. If I’m wrong, I’ll accept it. But nobody has explained what the advantage is. Not once.

I didn’t really care about this issue, until I realized the left was trying to use it against us by encouraging hotheads to burn korans and then look stupid.
