And considering most of the innocent people over there can't even read English, lead alone translate that to Biblical reference, I hardly see how this is going to change their perception of us, either, outside of giving the Taliban and Al Qaeda more propoganda to recruit with... and rest assured, this is only a drop in an ocean.

What have I been saying? I hardly care if you feel guilty about anything.
This doesn't concern the people that have already committed to their path, because they've already made heir choices, it's about the people who may see this as just another kick in the nuts in a very difficult and sensitive rebuilding process that we are in over there.
And to assume the great majority of the innocent people over there (that would include Iran and Pakistan, since a great many of the insurgents come from those places) can't read or write English is flat out false. A great number of insurgents and easily influenced youths of North Africa/North America, Iran, and Pakistan are decently educated and can understand English. This has come to the forefront most recently with the plane scare in the USA. Not everyone that decides to train over there is
from over there.
