Iranian Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqd fanned the flames of the violence this weekend, telling Haaretz the insult to Islam could be redressed only by burning the White House (http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/iran-military-official-only-burning-white-house-can-make-up-for-burning-koran-1.414765#.T0k-5XriQww.facebook) and hanging the military commanders responsible for the Qur'an burnings.
President Barack Obama apologized (http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/02/obama-apologizes-to-karzai-for-koran-burning/1#.T0uR54cgeAU) to Afghan President Harmid Karzai by telephone last Monday, followed up by a letter Thursday. According to USA Today, the letter expressed deep regret for the inadvertent Qur'an burnings and promised action to preclude any repeat of the mistake. The letter also said the persons responsible would be held accountable.

Anti-Western fury has deepened significantly since the desecration of the Muslim holy book at the main NATO Bagram air base in Afghanistan. NATO described the incident as a tragic blunder.
The U.S. Embassy warned of a "heightened" threat to American citizens in Afghanistan and many Westerners are on "lock down", meaning they are not allowed out of their fortified compounds.
Riots have raged across Afghanistan over the past week despite widespread apologies from U.S. leaders, including President Barack Obama and military commanders.
With few signs of the crisis abating, the U.S. ambassador said the United States should resist the urge to pull troops out of Afghanistan ahead of schedule.
In an interview from Rabat, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the violence was "out of hand and it needs to stop".
The high-level killings prompted NATO, Britain, Germany and Canada to withdraw their staff from Afghan ministries.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has repeatedly urged calm and restraint, although he also maintains that those who burned the Korans must be prosecuted.....snip~
Obama better not prosecute nor allow any of our Troopers to be prosecuted! BTW did Hillary think trying to play Mom, will make it stop. Thats all she has to say? Must be to concerned with Syria.....huh?
