Self-Inflicted Wounds
It is unfathomable how American military personnel in Afghanistan could decide to burn copies of the Koran . Muslims consider destruction of the holy book blasphemous . A decade after the United States intervened in Afghanistan , all American forces should know that .
Yet this week , American started to incinerate a truckload of Islamic religious items including copies of the Koran , taken from detainees at Bagram Air Base . The incident triggered three days of protests and on Thursday at least nine people were killed , including tow American soldiers . Some members of the Parliament , eager to capitalize on the even , have even urged A fghans to take up arms aginst the American military .
The top American commander in Afghanistan , Gen . John Allen , immediately apologized . On Thursday , President Obama sent a letter to President Hamid Kaizai . According to Mr . Karzai’s office , it said “the error was inadvertent ,” and promised to take “the appropriate steps to avid any recurrence , to include holding accountable those responsible .” Mr. Karzai and the Americans began separate investigations . They should be completed quickly and the results made public .
General Allen ordered coalition soldiers in Afghanistan to undergo training in “the proper handling of religious materials .”This is not just a lesson in repect for other religions , as important as that is . The disregard shown the Koran has given extremists another excuse to fan anti-Americanism , making the incredibly difficult effort to stabilize Afghanistan even harder .
The benavior of the American soldiers was shockingly insensitive . And while Afghans’anger is understandable ,there can be no justification for violent rampages . President Karzai is trying to quiet the outrage and reportedly told Parliament he accepted the Americans’ apology . He needs to keep pressing for calm .
We wish the Afghans now denouncing Americans as their enemies recognized the huge sacrifices made by the vast majority American soldiers . A decade later , some Afghans seem to have forgotten the horrors of Taliban repression and the high price Americans have paid defending them . Mr . Karzai should remind them of that , too .
