I don't know the details of the Koran burning in Afghanistan. From what I read, American Soldiers found defaced Korans in an internment facility that appeared to be used to spread radical Jihadist hate and perhaps coordinate resistance among the detainees. The Soldiers burned the Korans.
A few facts:
Soldiers had burned Bibles previously that were illegally in the country
The Korans had been defaced by Muslims
The proper way to dispose of certain items of veneration or respect in the West is by burning. Unservicable flags is an example.
This article indicates that the Korans were burned 'in a burn pit,' which leads me to believe they were burned along with other trash. If so, that was probably a serious Info Ops mistake. I think the effect of destroying the defaced holy books in a more reverent way would have been wise.
I don't think it would have prevented the violence. The burning is merely a convenient excuse for shooting and rioting and making the Americans look foolish.
Sadly, our leadership is aiding and abetting.
Now that six Soldiers have been killed in retaliation for burning a few books defaced by Muslim detainees, perhaps its time to realize that Christian (or, worse, Secular) charity and kindness will not work.
Time to go Old Testament on these people. Lex Talonis, or the Abramic, Mosaic law of retribution: an eye for an eye is something the Taliban and their fellow travellers understand very well.
They have not arrested the perpetrators of the first murder. Arrest my butt! I would hope that they have a pretty good idea of the networks in the area. Don Corleone would know what to do. Lorenzo Medici would know what to do. Joshua would know what to do.
Go do it. Kill the bosses. Kill their associates. Kill them in their sleep. Kill them in the broad daylight. Let them know that if the cockroaches stick their heads out they will be squashed.
Then crap or get off the pot. If we aren't going to go out and destroy the enemies of America -and the Afghan civilian population with great violence, then leave tomorrow and wipe the dust frorm our feet.
