We Didn't Flush The Koran, But....

Talk about cultural insensitivity....

Why isn't this in this press? Are Americans supposed to be "bigger" than this? If so, and if we expect others to be offended by (false) stories of Koran desecration, isn't that a very paternalistic view of non-Americans in general and Muslims in particular?

The hypocrisy of the mainstream media continues to surprise me, although it shouldn't.

The photo of the little boy coerced into urinating on the U.S. flag is especially telling and sad.
