Will Obama's Koran-burning apology satisfy Afghans? (The Week)

[unable to retrieve full-text content]The Week - The president says he's sorry about the U.S. military's "inadvertent" burning of Korans, which has already sparked violence claiming the lives of two U.S. soldiersAs violent anti-U.S. protests spread in Afghanistan this week, President Obama sent a letter to Afghan President Hamid Karzai apologizing for the unintentional burning of Korans by the U.S. military at Bagram Air Base. The Taliban argued that any U.S. expressions of regret were "mere slogans," and the Islamist militants urged Afghans to attack foreign military installations in "defense of our holy book." Angry crowds hurled rocks at several NATO bases, and a man in an Afghan military uniform reportedly shot and killed two U.S. soldiers. Will Obama's apology quell the uproar?
