I saw this on Al-Jazeera and understood what most of what the afghan men were saying. They seemed much more than angry. They said if the US does one more thing against the rulings of Islam, it wont be only the Taliban against the occupation but that they will join the fight as well. If it does happen, I bet you the US will blame it on Taliban propaganda.
Did they not see the reaction of the world from the desecration of Qur'aan and learn from it?

Even if the military has been there for so long, you are still dealing with a cultural divide and probably some moron in an office thought this would be 'nice' without realising what it would mean. Nothing unusual about that. The same goes in reverse for people emigrating to more modern countries.
