KABUL, Afghanistan -- Twelve people were killed Friday during protests in Afghanistan over the burning of copies of the Quran at a NATO base, officials said, despite Thursday's written apology from Barack Obama.
What do you mean a written note is not enough?
Afghanistan's Karzai seeks trial of Quran burners
The U.S.-led military coalition says the Muslim holy books were sent by mistake on Feb. 19 to a garbage burn pit at Bagram Air Field, near the capital, and that the case is under investigation.
Gosh, after all we did for him, maybe he wasn't a friend afterall?
Taliban to Afghans: Kill foreigners over Quran burnings
The explanation and multiple apologies from U.S. officials have yet to calm outrage over the incident, which has also heightened tension between international troops and their Afghan partners.
That is really going to hurt tourism!
The death toll since Tuesday now stands at 25, including the two U.S. soldiers.And in the eastern part of Nangarhar province, thousands of people shouted "Death to America!" and burned a cardboard picture of Obama. There was also a smaller protest in the capital Kabul.
Probalby didn't hear about the two soldiers did you? Only hear about the burnings? And this type of behavior gets an apology? And this type of behavior gets more discussions and talks?
I will stay on this, why do those that support Obama not see that there is no change in the actions of Obama to Bush? Why hate Bush so much and your guy does the same?
