Does the USA want another terrorist attack, who would burn a Quran?

Considering 9/11 was orchestrated by Al-Queda (which some people don't believe), wouldn't Terry Jones think it will just make more Muslims hate Americans and put our soldiers lives at risk?

I think the CIA or the State Department might make Terry Jones disappear REALLY soon if he continues doing dumb acts......The US government already despises him and NO ONE wants to get on the government's bad side!
I am sure the FBI will work up some charges against him just to send him to prison.

I am all for freedom of speech and rights, but I dont like when people make us look bad and put our troops in harm's way .

Wait a minute - I thought we weren't supposed to fear others! Actually I was thinking about making combat vests with a bunch of pockets on them that you insert Korans in to. Then Al Qaeda would need to be informed that if they shoot at American soldiers they would be desecrating the Koran.

No, the US doesn't want more terrorist attacks. Jones is a publicity hungry fool, but what he is doing is merely showing how nutty Middle Eastern and central Asian Muslims are; they are taking the bait.

"I think the CIA or the State Department might make Terry Jones disappear REALLY soon if he continues doing dumb acts"

At this point the US government would lose all legitimacy.

It was a pretty stupid thing to do, especially since we are trying to build up politically and economically two Muslim countries. It put a lot of military and civilian personnel at risk.

However, the government can't do anything to him, it does fall under the 1st amendment.
The idea that the FBI or any other agency can make him "disappear" doesn't really happen in real life.

So you are only for freedom of speech and rights when it is convenient and nothing can go wrong? But you are opposed to freedom of speech and rights when something might go wrong. I bet the Klan wishes that there had been more like you during their lynchings, they would have gotten away with more of them, and Blacks today would be in a state worse than slavery.

This question just proves that the "terrorists" have already won, they have scared us to the point that so much as insulting them and their beliefs is something we shouldn't do or else they will attack us.
Terrorist - someone who uses terror to coerce a populace into submission.

The fact that anyone in the world cares about the stupid actions of one redneck pastor and his inbred flock is laughable. Some people are just looking for an excuse to hate the United States. Pastor Jones should be mocked and ignored, just like any bully.

I have a copy within reach that I may set aflame at any time of my choosing. The difference is that I really don't think that is a meaningful protest against those head lopping sand rats. I prefer something a little more direct.

Bigots like Terry Jones do not think, they just knee jerk react in stupid and dangerous ways. Hope most foreigners are smart enough to realize that he does not represent us, that he is a mutation or an anomaly.

thats why you nuke the stone age Muslims off the map,....no more military operation games. I'd hate to have you as leader of the United States. Just bend over some more for those terrorists.
