Suicidal Tendencies in the West

Tolerance unreciprocated leaves West vulnerable.

by Bruce Thornton
Private Papers

Last week riots broke out in Afghanistan and Pakistan over an unfounded rumor, irresponsibly published by Newsweek magazine, that an American interrogator had flushed a Koran down the toilet. In response, the administration has been anxiously assuring the Muslim world that we indeed respect their religion and begging them to please like us.

They use 40% less water per flush but require two to three flushs. The net is a hoot, almost 200% as much water as the old toilet. More enviro weinie BS.
