With the sensitivity of the Afghan people, their (sorry to say) lack of education and poor communications from any centralized government, their fear of the extremists, and the quick time for this event following the riots that occurred due to the burning of the Koran, plus a government that is playing both sides of the fence.
The amount of damage that this is going to cause is going to be massive.
