So we have a mistaken burning of some religious articles during a sweep of things used for terror. The "offended" party uses this to raise a tremendous ruckus, and the President of the United States, the current occupant of the White House, the leader of the free world APOLOGIZES!!!!!
Let's analyze this. We have a bunch of hysterical fanatics who are screaming and yelling over some perceived slight, and the supposed offending party, in a mistaken believe that if they follow a policy of appeasement, it will defuse the situation, decides to apologize. Which does no good, leads to more (planned) rioting, threats against the offending country, and world sympathy.

The Arabs have learned their lessons well.
Our Jackwagon in Chief has learned nothing.
