Soccer ball = atomic bomb

Let no good deed go unpunished: the U.S. military is apologizing for handing out soccer balls with the Saudi Arabian flag on it. It seems that flag contains the Arabic names for Allah and Muhammad and shouldn't be kicked. Or held. Or looked at. All right, fair enough.

But wait! There's no sacrilege too small when it comes to the Great Satan:

"This ball...carries a message with it which, like an atom bomb, can cause carnage and insecurity in all parts of Afghanistan," a leading Afghan private daily, Cheragh, said on Monday.

Our bad, dudes. Maybe you could just kick the Israeli side.
