The Afghanistan mess

The question that no one has addressed is why on earth were they burning *any* books?

If they'd just hauled off the books to be donated or something, things would have been fine.

Oh god. On NBC news they just had a general (possibly retired) calling Afghanistan a "primitive society".

Gee whiz, no wonder they aren't buying our apologies. We *aren't* showing them any respect, so there's no reason to buy the apologies.

Apparently, some of the prisoners had written messages in them. So, these Korans were defiled by Muslims in the prison before being burned.
