U.S. General Apologizes for Desecration of Koran
Again it seems to me that the thing that we should be focusing on here is that the Koran is becoming more of a central aim of the US military. We have to remember at all times that what’s important is the “hearts and minds” argument of our imperialist strategy. What better way to let the locals know that we are on their side than to literally have our sights set on their religion? Maybe they would be more receptive if that sight wasn’t on the barrel of our guns, but as far as a step in the right direction we’re certainly on the right path. Religious tolerance after all is the bed rock of a healthy democratic society. WE ARE THE CHANGE we want to see in the world.
The apology came quickly after the military confirmed that a soldier in Iraq had used a Koran for target practice.
