If they werent absolute savages to begin with, this wouldnt be a big deal. Could care less about the Muslim savages (evident by Danzigs post about how they reacted to just the story of the Koran burning), do care about our Americans that are over there.
Thats why I have such a problem with the burning. We already know how those animals react. Why provoke when you know the outcome? It makes the pastor almost just as bad as they are.
- and for you PC guys - not all Muslims are savages of course, a lot are though (100,000,000)

You make some good observations, but if we follow this to the extreme, then it is the religion, or faction, with the worst reactions that gets the most deference. And the Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, or others of a more peaceful temperament get ignored, persecuted or worse.
Though not your intention or how you got there, the end result is indistinguishable from cowardice. It will be viewed that way by the world, and most notably by the very enemies whom we will appear the most terrified of.
It's the macroscopic equivalent of "ignore the bully and he'll get tired of beating you". It doesn't work. Kicking the crap out of the bully does work.
