The Propaganda of an idiotic gesture leads to globalization of insanity

The Rev. Terry Jones achieved something new, something that will be studied for generations: the propaganda of the idiotic gesture

“It is a horrifying wonder of the Internet age that a failed, half-crazed Florida pastor with a Facebook account can cause checkpoints to be thrown up on major roads in New Delhi, provoke violent demonstrations in Logar province south of Kabul, and be rewarded with the attention of America's four-star commander in Afghanistan and the president of the United States.”
