"Oops! Did I say the Bronx?"

A video has come to light in which a trainer for the German Army instructs recruits to imagine that they were killing black Americans in the Bronx has caused deserved outrage in America. Such diverse individuals as the Rt. Rev. Al Sharpton and Bronx Mayor Aldolfo Carrion as well as members of New York's Congressional delegation are calling for an apology from the German government. Certainly they should get one. Obviously the trainer misread "black Americans" for "Sh'ias" and "the Bronx" for "Sadr City".

If he hadn't made this wee mistake everything would undoubtedly be fine.
