Baloney. The apology from the Brits, the Germans, and Japan was in their defeat in war, and in trials and executions in the later two cases. In the German and Jap cases, there was massive internal acceptance of their crimes, and a complete end to their governing system. No more nazism, no more Japanese militarism and the Emperor was stripped of his deity status.
The Saudi Government attacked us. At the bare minimum very high ranking elements conducted the attack. It was all heavily covered up by our government and they were protected. The sick government and religion of the Saudis was expanded with ISIS. We allowed them unprecedented access to the US Government, society and our financial system.
The Saudis have paid no price at all for the 9/11 attack and have never even slightly acknowledged the role high government officials played in the attack.
It’s quite different than 1812 Brits or 1945 Germans and Japs.
The world saw what they did to us, and they didn’t see us get revenge against the KSA. We could have seized all their assets, nuked Mecca and conquered them in a weekend. Instead we went after everyone BUT them and we treated them like friends.
At least we can lose all the high minded rhetoric. Our government has no principles whatsoever, will do anything for money, and couldn’t care less about the American people. The American people is their very last concern.
In fact, they don’t want America doing too well because that works against their needs.
Now the world has that lesson.
There's an old story of a couple of British tourists being shown around Washington by an American, who points out, "You know, the British burned Washington in 1814." The British tourists were shocked: "We know we burned Joan of Arc but we thought Washington died of natural causes."
No the Saudi “government” did not.
And no, the lessons of WW II are clear. The Germans never apologized for NON-MILITARY NON-GENEVA CONVENTION horrors. Nor did Japan.
