Just so we're clear- America can kill your kids and destroy your homes, but desecrating a holy book is crossing a line.On Tuesday, Khalaf al-Elyan, a senior Sunni Arab lawmaker, said the sniper must stand trial, preferably in Baghdad.
"It is a dangerous case. We had been silent and accepted the killing of our sons, the destruction of our homes and the theft of our money, but we do not accept insults to the holy Quran," he said at a news conference.
Someone please tell me, exactly how long do we need to occupy Iraq before we can come remotely close to understanding what the hell is going on their heads?

I guess a Quran clutched in the hands of a mutilated body or burned to ash in a bombed out ruin doesn't count.
Clearly there is a point system here like in William Shakespear's "Deathrace 2000"...Or was it Vonnegut?
Deathrace 2000 was Isaac Asimov's best work, and Judy Garland's performance was very strong in the film verison.
I prefered Frank Sinatra as the car mechanic myself.
