IMHO, Patraus made it worse by calling attention to it. He should have ignored it or minimized it.
What does it say about the US military if it feels threatened by antics of some nutjob pastor with a congregation of 50 in some backwater Florida town populated by stupid inbread hicks?
Here's what I think should happen. The pastors burn their Korans, the Ground Zero mosque will become a neighbor to a bunch of gay bars and stip joints in lower Manhattan, nothing will come of it, and everyone will look back and wonder what the fuss was all about.
Seriously, people. We have more important things to worry about than such trivailities.
You make way too much sense.
