Obama and The Quran Burnings

I have complete outrage at President Obama for sending a letter of apology to Afghan president Karzai for the Quran burnings. It was a politically weak move. It was also unnecessary. There was absolutely no need to write the letter.

The letter did nothing to quell or satisfy the anger of the offended. The radical Islamist and their followers still attacked US targets and rioted. Worse yet, Karzai,nor any other official, has not apologized for the US deaths.

The best move, instead of apologizing, would have been to state that an investigation was underway. Then go through the motions of an investigation and let the issue die.

If it was up to me, and I'm sure this crossed someone's mind, I would have burned a few Bibles too and mixed in those ashes with the Quran ashes. Then I would have blamed it on an unknown officer and his anti-religious views.
