Agree with your analysis, xzins. If anyone is to blame, it is first the murdering Afghanis, then the imams who encouraged violence, and Karzai who demanded "justice". From
Petraeus Says Quran Burning Endangers War Effort
Most Afghans learned about the Quran burning in Florida only when Mr. Karzai on March 24 condemned the act as "a crime against the religion and the entire Muslim nation," called on the U.S. and the U.N. to bring the perpetrators to justice and demanded "a satisfactory response to the resentment and anger of over 1.5 billion Muslims around the world."
So what was the response to both the quran burning and the murders at the UN compound?
Petraeus referred to [the Quran burning in Florida] as
"hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant.", but he also said this:
"Every security-force leader's worst nightmare is being confronted by essentially a mob,
especially [a mob] that can be influenced by individuals that want to incite violence, who want to try to hijack passions, in this case, perhaps understandable passions." Inside the Massacre at Afghan Compound
So let me get this right.......quran burning -
- a crime against the religion and the entire 1.5 Billion "Muslim nation " - Karzai (notice he didn't say against)
his nation
- hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant - Gen. Petraeus
Killing innocent UN people -
- "to attack and kill innocent people in response is outrageous, and an affront to human decency and dignity." -Karzai
- these Afghanis had their "passions" hijacked, "in this case, perhaps understandable passions." - Gen. Petraeus
Right on for pointing out Karzai’s role in this. Isn’t it the same Koran from Indonesia to Morocco? But, as yet, nothing like it from anywhere but Karzaistan.
