In Afghanistan this morning, violence regarding the Koran burning continues. More than 30 people have been killed and among them, 4 U.S. Soldiers. This morning, a suicide bomber drove a car into the gates at Jalalabad Airport killing 9 people.
This, apparently, is all in response to the burning of 4 Korans.
Those Korans had notes written in them which, as we’ve been told, related to actions to be taken, possible attacks and so on. Those notes were being written and passed between prisoners. The Korans were removed, burned, and the ashes apparently sent to a dump.
Word got out as to the disposal methods and all of a sudden, riots break out in the streets.
Obama, after but one or two days, issued an apology to Afghanistan and Karzai.
Karzai, for HIS part, has both demanded public trials for those who burned the already defiled Korans and has called for calm in television appearances.
Among conservatives, the Obama apology as become a focal point. GOP candidates have seized upon it, conservative bloggers have seized upon it…pundits and commentators have seized upon it too.
If you’ve read The National Patriot before, you know I’m a big picture guy. I like to stand back far enough to see the whole picture; and in this case, when that tact is taken, the focus shifts away from the apology and onto to something much more important.
What is fueling the Afghanistan violence? Obama’s apology?
