Spark in the Powder Room .....Again...

It seems that NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization click HERE for Wikipedia definition) is hell bent on keeping things hot in the middle east.  This story broke yesterday and the public outcry from the Middle-East has shocked the world......well, the whole world minus one.
NATO Apologizes for Koran Burning
That story led to this one:
US Embassy in Kabul Closes in Midst of Anti-US Protests
and this one (where I first learned of the whole issue):
Koran on the Stake; US Closes Embassy in Kabul  ("Stake"...as in : "Burned at the stake")
As upsetting and dire as the consequences of this apparent act of  racism / religious oppression may well turn out to be,  it is equally upsetting that this issue was even allowed to come to the public's knowledge.
Here is the skeleton of the story: at the military detention facility at Bagram Air Field in Eastern Afghanistan, copies of the Koran and other religious material were removed from the library's shelves disposed of (burnt) after extremist messages / inscriptions were found in them.  NATO states that they did indeed remove the material from circulation but the burning was inadvertent. Following the breaking of this story, rioting began in Kabul prompting the lock down of the US embassy located in the city and is threatening to worsen. 

Before labeling my words quasi-treasonous, hear me out.....
