Potential Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum shared his disapproval of the President Barack Obama's apology for Quran burnings in Afghanistan, the Pioneer Press reported.
Santorum, who has been a avid criticizer of the current president, added that the Afghani's should in fact be apologizing to Americans for the violence that ensued in the six days after the burning.
Four American soldiers were among the more than 30 killed since Tuesday when copies of the Quran and other religious material were used in a fire pit to burn garbage at a U.S. base, the Pioneer Press reported. Angry citizens and protestors threw grenades at a U.S. base Sunday leaving seven international troops wounded and two Afghans dead, the Pioneer Press reported.
Santorum said this violence is a deliberate as a result of an American mistake."Killing Americans in uniform is not a mistake. It was something that deliberate," Santorum said, the Boston Globe reported.
Santorum further said that it should be Afghani president Hamid Karzai apologizing to us, not the other way around, the Boston Globe reported.
