No, burning the Koran does not "endanger our young men and women in uniform who are in Iraq, who are in Afghanistan." The reaction to burning the Koran is what endangers our men and women in uniform (and everyone else) ... When you blame a speaker for the violent response to his speech, you absolve the violent actor of the moral choice he made in deciding to act. If you think it’s Jones, rather than some Taliban suicide bomber, who’s a mortal threat to the troops, then presumably you also think Theo Van Gogh got what was coming to him. After all, he knew the risk when he made "Submission," right?
