It would mean nothing to me if they did which they won't and who really cares? They fly planes into our buildings and kill 3000 people or more, ruin thousands of lives of their families and friends, send us to a war that causes us to lose 2000+ soldiers (with who knows how many more to come) who all have families who will never be the same and I'm supposed to accept an "we're sorry". How absurd. I'd take it as a gross insult. No way.

Well then I still contend that if they let fear smear their whole religion they must be stupid.

Well, it's no big deal. I try to update it at least once a month, which is all I do sometimes. By and large, it's about Catholic feast days and art. The link is:

I suppose that my thinking is simplistic and linear, but what should I or anyone else care for an apology?

We seem to have become obsessed with apologies in our western culture.

I'm not apologizing for something my ancestors may or may not have done 200 years ago to black people or anyone else. And I don't care if a murderer apologizes for his crime, or if one thousand muslims apologize for 9/11.

People apologizing for something they weren't around to do (own slaves) and people apologizing for something they want to do again (9/11). And people feeling better afterwards. This is rational?

This is more nauseating than a Barney and Friends marathon.

Well, his fellow Cardinal, Cardinal Pell of Australia, has yet to apologize for his many comments about the Mohammedans, so we'll just have to wait and see.

George Bush needs to talk to the good Cardinal about hoe Muslims "enrich" our society. On second thought, Bush needs to listed to the good cardinal.

Last night, the cardinal's views on Islam had stirred up a new controversy, with Muslim leaders furious at the comment. They claimed that as the terrorist attacks were carried out by extremists, mainstream Muslims who had already condemned the actions had nothing to apologise for.

But the United States is supposed to apologize for (and haha pay reparations for) slavery that ended 140 years ago, and for the mis-treatment of Native Americans that took place over 100 years ago, and for....

The more leaders that take on the Muslims and their two-faced campaign against us, the better.

True, the extremists carried out the attacks but why apologize when secretly they are in agreement with the terrorists' agenda. My tag says it all...
