The New York Times reports on the reactions and repercussions following the apology by the American military for one of its soldiers using a Quran for target practice.
At issue is what should happen to the offending soldier -- who has personally apologized, and has been relieved of duty and redeployed stateside.
Pres. Bush, apparently feeling that is insufficient punishment to appease the Iraquis, has promised them that the soldier would additionally be criminally prosecuted.
To what extent should an offender's punishment be tailored to satisfy his victims?
If nothing else, there is a lesson here on the force and impact of the actions of one individual.
