Just days after photos of Afghan civilian trophy kills by so called "kill team" were publised in media ( Link (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-kill-team-20110327) ) , Afghanistan is rocked again as upto 20 UN staff including at least 8 foreigners have been killed in Afghanistan:

In Iraq there used to be Green Zone for foreign staff, would it be good idea to build a Green Zone in Afghanistan too as long Obama's Afghan War continues?

US civilians need a little more tolerance too.

Afghan protesters angered by the burning of a Koran by an obscure U.S. pastor killed up to 20 U.N. staff, beheading two foreigners, when they over-ran a compound in a normally peaceful northern city on Friday in the worst ever attack on the U.N. in Afghanistan.

Casey wanted to ship subversive propaganda through Afghanistan to the Soviet Union’s predominantly Muslim southern republics.” The Pakistanis agree to the plan and soon the CIA begins sending subversive literature and thousands of Korans to Soviet republics such as Uzbekistan. Mohammad Yousaf, a Pakistani general who attends the meeting, will later say that Casey said, “We can do a lot of damage to the Soviet Union.” [Washington Post, 7/19/1992]

The UN is burning the US Constitution. When are we going to make a little visit to the UN HQ in NYC?

Are you suggesting US Constitution as sacred for us as their holy book is for Afghans?
