The Vatican speaks to Catholics, it is not Catholics making the move to burn the Koran. I do find it twisted though that they try to equate the acts of 911 with the burning of a book.... "cannot be counteracted by an outrageous and grave gesture against a book considered sacred by a religious community.".

While I can understand the Generals position trying to keep soldiers safe I disagree it is unpatriot to burn the book. Like the Vatican he is overstating the case to try to avoid the gruesome outcome that may be the Islam way

I disagree it is unpatriot to burn the book.

I agree that burning the book alone is not unpatriotic, and our freedom of expression should always be secured, but if there is a chance that burning of one book would cause less chance to win a war against terrorism, and result in thousands of Americans fighting for our country in Afghan to die by angry mad mobs with suicide vests for revenge as a result for Al Qaida using this for their propaganda to excite the local citizens, what is your answer.

They are doing it in response to FEAR and INTIMIDATION. They are appeasing the enemy - and that shows weakness.
