Afghan's Karzai demands public trial for Quran burners

KABUL -- Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Quran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai's office said Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident.

It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

Karzai had earlier accused a U.S. officer of "ignorantly" burning copies of the Quran, in an incident that has deepened anti-Western sentiment in a country NATO is trying to stabilize before foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014.

Demonstrations have drawn thousands of angry Afghans to the streets, chanting "Death to America!" amid violence that has killed 11 people including two U.S. service personnel.

Hamid Karzai should be killed along with every Afghan pseudo-warlord who dares speak against America. Enough is enough.

Well said. It was also true ten years ago but I was too stupid to know. Democracy flowering over there? Iraq? Iran? There should be consequences for such a monumental screw up.

We should have bombed the bloody hell out of them within a week of 9/11, killed a hundred times as many of their people as died on 9/11, then told them, “Okay, if you want some more, there is more.”

Every minute this story has legs, a few more people decide to vote for Ron Paul.

This whole country of asswipes is not, and never was, worth one drop of American blood.

Thing is he’s on really shaky footing. Who’s going to protect his money stealing butt?
The fact we’ve watched as his family enriched themselves and still supported him causes me massive indigestion.

I'm baffled by the fact we are still in Afghanistan.

We have absolutely no interest there and have not since the Specops folks were riding horses to oust the Taliban.

Once the Taliban we deposed and a few thousand killed, we should have simply left.

100 times 3000 I believe is 300,000. Your point is well taken, however. 300,000 is probably not enough.

Time to decamp and leave these fools to their fate of living in mud huts and killing each other. Nation building is a failure.

And if they ever allow their country to become a terrorist training ground again, just bomb and utterly destroy anything on the ground related to terrorism or the support of terrorism.

And never put even one US military member in that cesspool again.

Again, obama will sacrifice the heads of our soldiers for the pleasure of his Muslim brothers.

Speaking of the Taliban who are fanning the flames as hard as they can but if i’m not mistaken those are the same people our moron leader has been reaching out to in order to sign some sort of peace treaty? Those guys?
Every candidate better point out just how naive and incompetent and stupid,and idiotic and American hating and did i say stupid already our current president is. The man is devoid of any instincts that will further our interests or protect our people. President zero is actually too kind. Smartest man in the room? Not even if that room was inside an anthill.

Especially since we would of course have to aid them after we bomb them to bloody muslim hell. Every one dead is one less to feed afterwards. We have a budget to worry about.
