U.S. President Barack Obama has sent a letter to his Afghan counterpart, Hamid Karzai, apologizing for what Washington says was the unintentional burning of the Korans, after Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish.

The Koran burnings ignited anti-Western fury. Thousands have taken to the streets and at least 27 people have been killed in the protests. Two other American soldiers were shot dead on Thursday by an Afghan national army soldier who joined the rallies.

And they’re certain Korans were burned on purpose? A decade in Afghanistan and NATO personnel knowingly throw away/burn Korans?

Even from the beginning, this just smells like something that could easily have been ginned-up to cause trouble.
