Can there be a more primitive society than the Afghans'?

Probably not many. However, wtf were they thinking burning the Quran?
Its not like we dont understand the consequences of these type of actions.

As I understand it they were burning miscellaneous terrorist propaganda documents collected in various places and nobody in the cleaning crew looked at anything.

True, knowing the primitive nature of where they are they should have taken care to do so more securely, but it doesn't change the hypocrisy of the Afghan people.

The shame is that their HQ has plenty of procedures and equipment for getting rid of sensitive waste "discretely". They just didn't think to apply them.

That's a pretty broad brush. Are you sure they're all hypocrites?

All Republicans aren't morons either, but sometimes we reference them with a broad brush too.

You know what I meant. The Taliban blow up their own people and they shrug, as if to say "that's life", but burn a book and they suddenly find meaning to demonstrate.//

I may have known what you meant, but someone who's not a regular here might not. I'm sure if I said "The American people [insert negative trait]..." or "The Jewish people [insert negative trait]..." someone would call me on it immediately.

Nuff said; as a culture I find little to admire.

They have a mineral rich country, yet choose to live in a subsistence economy with little respect for life. Not all do, but a people are responsible for themselves, just as we (including you and I) would be if we elected a Santorum or Newt for President.
