#1 I hope this runs and runs because most people will see this for what it is. A bunch of people with an agenda, manufacturing an issue. It has the added bonus that it presents a nice paradox for the Left to tie themselves in knots over.

#2 Absolutely lame State Department. Disapointing Condolezza.

#3 In Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai said: "As much as we condemn this, we must have, as Muslims, the courage to forgive and to not make an issue of dispute between religions or cultures."

We've got a lot invested in Afghanistan and Iraq. While we may not be able to control events, I can understand a carefully balanced message that doesn't put Karzai and the Iraqi officials in an impossible situation with their citizens.

#4 You nailed it, lotp.

Two things jump out at me about this reaction to the State Dept saying anything: 1) it shouldn't create new problems for the few allies we have in this war -and- 2) the entire world expects a response from the US and the MSM won't let it go until they get one.

So it has to be a rational global response, not some knee-jerk foolishness.
