Afghanistan
Afghans protest over troops' Quran desecration
2009-02-28
Six people were hurt when Afghan police opened fire on demonstrators who claimed U.S. troops had desecrated the Holy Quran during a raid on a mosque, as Amnesty International urged the importance of prosecuting the troops who cause civilian deaths.

The incident took place in Deh Khodaidad village in Ghazni, southwest of the capital, Kabul.

Police said a government team had been sent to investigate claims that foreign troops had raided the mosque, rounded up worshippers and tore apart copies of the Holy Quran on Thursday night.

A spokesman for the U.S. military said he was aware of a "peaceful protest". Afghan police said any injuries had been caused by "saboteurs" in the crowd.

#5  Nation-building gets easier when you're not trying to coddle two two-faced, backstabbing, money-grubbing leaders from two different countries, neither of which REALLY wants nation-building to succeed. Crush both national governments, start from the ground up rebuilding, shoot anyone that starts pushing an extremist agenda (islam), and things will work out much better.
