#4 "And the linkage between the match-happy American preacher and the UN schmucks that the rabid rioters offed is?..."
"Well..."

#5 I wonder if Western political and military elites will once blame Terry Jones for the Afghan people's murderous intolerance and bigotry.

#7 From the link:
And tonight pastor Jones remained defiant over his decision to hold the Koran burning, saying it was time for 'Islam to be held accountable'.

He said: 'We must hold these countries and people accountable for what they have done as well as for any excuses they may use to promote their terrorist activities. The time has come to hold Islam accountable.

'Our United States government and our President must take a close, realistic look at the radical element Islam. Islam is not a religion of peace.

'We demand action from the United Nations. Muslim dominated countries can no longer be allowed to spread their hate against Christians and minorities.

'They must alter the laws that govern their countries to allow for individual freedoms and rights, such as the right to worship, free speech, and to move freely without fear of being attacked or killed.'

This is what Bush should've said on 9/12 2001!

#8 I wonder if Western political and military elites will once again blame Terry Jones for the Afghan people's murderous intolerance and bigotry.

The former Ranger/independent reporter Michael Yon most certainly does, Hupemble Oppressor of the Munchkins7822. He's got two threads going on the subject on his Facebook page.

#9 This Youtube video sums up how I'd respond to Yon's argument.
It is a response to the Danish Cartoon Crisis that is making my point better than I ever could.

#10 There's something very crazy about a religion that triggers off such maniacal rages.
