This is bulls*it!!!!!

Ainkor: If it really was about coded messages... What does a military force do when it intercepts a coded message from the enemy? Burns it? Instead of sending it to its own spies to analyze and store the stuff forever?

[Ainkor]

That said...............we should have never been there in the first place...............Remember the WHOLE mid-east mess started with European arrogance after WWI when the allies divided up the fallen Ottoman Empire among themselves with no regard to existing tribal, Ethnic, or religious demarcations………….but only their own competing national interests

Word.

Solution? Back our toys up and go home.

On another note, I don't care what the reason, I strongly disagree with burning any book. I may not like the idea, thought or intention behind it, there is something VERY important about the written word.
Just take it away and shove it in a box somewhere if they are coding messages on it.

I am way over the whole middle east intervention. Leave them to their own devices, we are not the worlds police. Our actions in the middle east over the last 10 years haven't done anything to keep us more safe. If anything has, its the extreme levels of security on travel. Oh, and that private CIA like organization in Texas :P

That's the point. Even if you only count Americans as important, we're running a deficit on the "pay off". The ledger looks much worse if you count everyone.

Wait for the Depleted Uranium/chemical soup body counts. 44 days in Gulf 1 and now close to a decade in two countries.

Once again, F-THEM ALL. ANd screw political correctness. This world needs to get over itself BIGTIME.

My words exactly! F-THEM ALL, then kill them all and send their ugly remains back to America to be buried someplace where US citizens will be reminded daily not to go and invade foreign countries just to steal their natural resources. YEAH!

Oh... You did mean the American intruders in foreign lands, didn´t you?

The Americans that were and are being killed in these two wars are occupying forces, I'm more concerned about the countless innocent men women and children that have died as a result, some estimates put those figures in the millions.American lives are not worth more than other human beings.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have killed more Americans than all the Muslim attacks put together.

The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have killed more Americans than all the Muslim attacks put together. I'm no fan of any religion, and Islam is close to the top of my shit list, but the way to answer it is ignore it. We brought our troubles on ourselves, and need to look internally for the solution.

Exactly, I don't see how people are surprised when being attacked when having troops in a country like those you listed. Or in any other country, just look at North Ireland and the IRA.

I personally don't see muslim funtamentalists worse than jewish and christian fundamentalists, they are all same people.

Burning books was popular during WW2.

[Snusdog]

How about this instead

The United States government released a statement on Monday................Stop defiling your holy books with codes of violence..........and we will no longer have the need to cleanse your defilement from their pages with fire.

[BadAxe]

Yep, Lets fall for the propgoanda so the AMerican sentiment becomes treating returning vets like absolute shit like what happened in the Vietnam era. F every single politically person in the world. F-Them, then F them again.

How quickly everyone forgets the 2 burning towerrs that collapsed to the ground.

Much MUCH worse shit happens in war. Stuff happens in war that is punishable by death outside of war. Sorry, stories of buring a holy book should not even be reported, let alone given the attention its being given. Just what the Muslims wanted to achieve is happening.

Once again, F-THEM ALL. ANd screw political correctness. This world needs to get over itself BIGTIME.

[Snusdog]

Great picture Lx!!!

and I agree.

However, I thought they were burning the book not because it was the koran........but because it had encrypted codes written in the margins and between the lines and they were using the book to pass these messages along to other conspirators. That I don't have a problem with

[truthwolf1]

Perhaps we have worn out our welcome and it's time to leave.

They will push it as far as those military dollars will go and shape the propaganda so a slight majority will always believe in the delusional mission.

[Snuts]

I don't know all the facts and I don't care about religious books either but...

They do care about Koran..

Knowing that why do american soldiers burned them?

Disrespect? Complex of superiority?

I would like to see those soldiers went to Vatican and burned some Bibles in Saint Peter Square during a Pope speech.

This kind of attitudes should be banned and severilly punished. If they are men enough to carry a gun a kill human beings I believe they should be men enough to be responsible for their stupid actions.

This kind of actions are degrading America image and they should be punished for that too.

Burning books, regardless of content is a sin. That's the preoccupation of ignorant pigs. They fear knowledge, and ideas, and futilely try to erase it from existence.
