Palin is being her usual silly self, eh? Imaging believing that the lives of two U.S. soldiers are worth more than a book that got burned.

What kind of connection to reality does she have?

Sarah Palin demands apology from Afghan Army for slain U.S. soldiers

The State Column
Thursday, February 23, 2012

Former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin demanded an apology from the Afghan Army for the killing of two U.S. soldiers Thursday.

The former Alaska governor’s comments came following a series of protests by citizens of Afghanistan in reaction to the burning of the Koran at a U.S. military base this week.

Mr. Obama sent a letter to Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai Thursday, apologizing for the incident earlier this week where copies of the Koran were burned at the biggest U.S. military base in Afghanistan.

On Thursday, in reaction to the Koran burning, an Afghan soldier killed two U.S. soldiers who were actually his allies, as they monitored a protest by Afghan citizens, according to the Afghanistan International Security Assistance Force report.

Following the report of the deaths of the two soldiers, Ms. Palin used her Twitter and Facebook accounts to demand an apology from Afghanistan for the retaliation.

“Obama apologizes for the inadvertent Koran burning this week; now the U.S. trained and protected Afghan Army can apologize for killing two of our soldiers yesterday,” tweeted Ms. Palin Thursday.

President Obama has not commented on the two U.S. soldiers that were killed Thursday.

Winston Churchill on islam - 1899

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!

Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.

The effects are apparent in many countries, improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement the next of its dignity and sanctity.

The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith.

It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome ."

whoa... not as dumb as he looks huh ? spot on. Big Mo made a fool of his once great people.
 
From a broad perspective -- Obama is not wrong to apologize. Karzai can barely hold on to power as it is, and the last thing he needs is this. Like it or not, that is who we have to work with.

Now, certainly this does not justify the killing of our soldiers, but from a strategic perspective -- an apology was not a bad move in my opinion. It does us no good however to demand an apology for their deaths however. War is absolute hell, and the loss of life (especially American life) is tragic -- but there are larger issues at stake here.
 
You wouldnt heard Bush apologizing to China when they demanded it.

That is an entirely different scenario with an entirely different set of circumstances and facts. If I am thinking of the same case in which you, there was no reason to apologize.

I don't think it is the same as in this case.
