From, “Chain of Avoidable Errors Cited in Koran Burning,” By Alissa J. Rubin, 3/2/12, The New York Times:
Even as Americans have raced to ease Afghan outrage over the burning, releasing information on Friday that American service members could face disciplinary action, accounts from more than a dozen Americans and Afghans involved in investigating the incineration laid out a complex string of events that will do little to assuage an Afghan public that in some quarters has called for deaths to avenge the sacrilege.
Assuage: to make (something burdensome or painful) less intense or severe; to pacify or calm
