I don't know, I don't think so and I don't care. Now that the concept of "burning the koran" is on the table it is worse to back down than to go forward. Backing down now is a defeat which will be celebrated by our enemies worldwide and encourage them to attack the "paper tiger" and "Great Satan" America.

These attacks can and will come increasingly from inside our borders. It is better to smoke these insurgents out now rather than wait for them to get stronger, more numerous and better organized.

Burning the koran will bring voices out of the shadows and we need to know who those people are for our own safety. A short term risk can provide longer term safety and even peace.

I disagree. I think he shouldn’t burn the Koran on 9/11, because I believe it is a disrespectful, cheap trick that cheapens the remembrance of that day.

I say to him: Burn the book on Sunday at your church service; don’t appropriate a solemn day like 9/11 for your pet cause; we all want to remember 9/11 in our own way.

So I guess I could care less who burns a Koran when, I think it’s stupid for a General to COMPLAIN about a legal act of liberty taken by a citizen he is tasked to defend, it’s rediculous for the media to cover this like the guy is about to murder someone, and the guy has no business trying to co-opt 9/11 for his own purposes.
