The article is great, but I don't agree with the way his conclusion sort of infers a position on the whole "burning a Qur'an" dealy:

"I guess its not surprising that someone who would burn a Koran and enrage Muslims everywhere, endangering our troops and citizens overseas, is also a controlling, manipulative egomaniac."

I agree that he's crazy. But I still maintain that even crazy people have the right to protest. The fact that "Muslims everywhere" might be enraged is not, in fact, the fault of the protest, but the fault lies squarely on people who would have an irrational reaction to burning a few pieces of paper.

Really there in lies the problem.

How much more terrorism can we really get, that we are allowing one section of the world's population to -fear- us into NOT doing something?

This is terrorism at it's best. Crazy or not, he's got a right to burn the damn book.

... but damn is he crazy.
