Unsilent Minority

As an American, I have witnessed many events in our nation's history. Some of them great like placing a man on the moon. Some of them were dark and shameful events. No matter what happened, it is the people that make this nation great. Each looking to the future with optimism and looking to improve this nation for all. The United States is a great and wonderful nation and her people are her best asset. As Americans, we need to stand together and let our voices be heard.

Taliban Urges Afghans to Kill Foreigners

The Taliban urged Afghans to retaliate against foreign military bases and to kill Westerners for burning the Koran. There has been three days of violence as as thousands of demonstrators shouted, "Death to America!"

"Our brave people must target the military bases of invader forces, their military convoys and their invader bases," read an emailed Taliban statement released by the insurgency's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid. "They have to kill them (Westerners), beat them and capture them to give them a lesson to never dare desecrate the holy Koran again."

With each US apology, the situation continues to get worse. 12 people were killed on Friday due to the demonstrations and protest marches.
