Seriously...
KABUL, Afghanistan — As deadly violence spilled into a fifth day in Afghanistan on Saturday, two American officers were shot dead inside the Afghan Interior Ministry building.

...The shootings came on another tense day in the country as thousands of Afghans incensed by the American military’s burning of Korans ...

...In the east, 2,000 protesters, mainly young students from one of the main high schools, stormed the governor’s residence in Laghman Province, and 21 Afghans were injured when the police opened fire.

...An apology by President Obama on Thursday failed to keep thousands off the streets in Kabul and around the country. In light of that apology, which was attacked by Republican critics, the United States postponed plans to apologize to the Pakistani government for the killing of 24 Pakistani soldiers last November...

...Elsewhere, The Associated Press, citing the Afghan Defense Ministry, reported that six Afghan soldiers were killed and 16 others were wounded when they tried to defuse a bomb.
What the fuck.  Why are we still there?
