Dick, I too disagree with your reasoning, although I understand the emotion behind it.
But that may be condescending of me. Your statement was that if the qu'ran was used by Berg's killers, then it should be desecrated.
The second part of the question posed above is: should it be up to individual soldiers to desecrate the Qu'ran, with U.S. government carte blanche approval, or should the U.S. government actively manage the desecration of the Qu'ran as official policy?
For the moment, we will assume your condition that the Berg beheading was at some point "justified" using the Qu'ran, which you've stipulated as making Qu'ran desecration a social good.
I await your further considered analysis,
Dan
