Day after day the people we’re fighting against in the middle east commit atrocities.  They maim and murder in the name of a culture that treats women like property.  They launch attacks using women and children as human shields.  They use mentally handicapped children as suicide bombers.  They launch attacks on civilian targets.

Almost never does the media give the outright rotten nature of our enemies the attention it deserves.  But one US soldier makes a stupid decision to use a Koran as a target and suddenly the story is headline news.

Reuters even goes so far as to obtain pictures of the shot-up Koran and counts the bullet holes in it.

If the reporters held America’s enemies to the same standards as they hold America itself we’d see balanced news coverage coming out of the middle east.
