Krazy Karzai Caused Koran Crisis

As previously noted, "pastor" Terry Jones (how generic is that name?) the leader of a tiny Christianoid cult of 20-30 cretins in Florida, staged a make-believe "trial" of the Koran on March 20. ("Trying" a book- how's that for a medieval totalitarian mentality?) He "sentenced" the book to death by burning. This bizarre publicity stunt was duly videoed and posted online.

But something went awry in his plan this time. Unlike last fall, when he garnered global media coverage for his threat to burn the book, which he aborted after pleas from top generals and officials that he'd be endangering U.S. troops, this time the media behaved responsibly for a change and ignored the insignificant "event."

Enter "President" Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan.

Since the primitive population of Afghanistan had failed to notice Jones' stunt, Karzai proceeded on Thursday March 31 (eleven days later) to bring the "outrage" to their attention in a speech. The next day, the mullahs did their part and incited rabid mobs to murder 7 UN employees, whose crime is trying to help the backward fanatics who infest Afghanistan. Rioting by righteous mobs continued for several more days, producing more deaths.

A word on Karzai: here's a carpetbagger from the U.S., who with his family and cronies has stolen many millions, if not billions, of foreign aid intended to build infrastructure and provide basic services for the backward dirt farmers Karzai nominally rules. Karzai provides no services and no actual government to Afghanistan- just a pathetic burlesque. Was the purpose of his provocation to score points with the Taliban? (Surely he understands that as soon as the Taliban is back in power, his life isn't worth a plugged nickel, should he be so foolish as to fail to flee to the sack of loot he's stashed in Dubai.) Is he merely a cheap demagogue pandering to the prejudices of the most primitive elements of his populace? Who knows?

Once again his Western patrons gave him a pass. Afghanistan is shaping up as another "South" Vietnam.
The future here after the U.S. leaves is a return of the Taliban. Al-Qaeda is already back- it was just reported yesterday that in September the U.S. bombed an Al-Qaeda training camp set up inside Afghanistan near the Pakistan (natch) border. (Those duplicitous Paki bastards provide a haven for the Wahhabist cutthroats.)
