The more I think about it the more I roll my eyes at Petraeus's comment about the Qu'ran burning. It's stupid scare tactics, the same brand being spewed by the "other side". Whether or not such a demonstration puts troops in more danger is entirely irrelevant to the merits of the act. If he came up and said that, actually, burning Qu'rans would strike fear in the hearts of the enemy and greatly improve our chances of victory, it would not change my stance on it one iota. It's wrong because it's wrong.
