That may be our ordinary folks opinion, but to some politicians trying to mend broken and sour relationship with the Muslim world it would send a wrong message if the guy was not fired. . . .at least that's the point of view I used when I wrote I can understand it to deter other people from burning more Korans.
But for the sake of liberty I'd support the stance that the guy should not lose his job over his method of protest. Private or public career.
Worse thing happened to Dixie chick during Bush administration because of the comments they made over the war in Iraq that resulted from the radios banning their music. I certainly respect the audacity of these women in saying what they believed in public and took the chance with their career as a consequence. I raise my hat to them! The kind of girl or women I'd love to love, one that can stand up when she believes she's right. What is there to fear even the most successful and powerful person on the planet is going the same way as the rest of the population...the grave. What to fear?! We'll all successfully die. So why not living and fighting for what we believe is right in the meantime?
Political correctness is just stupid imo . . . .and who is to be the judge of that correctness? And who is going to be the judge of that judge? And why does it keep changing with time and policy and administration? Surely there's no universal correctness!
