and apologise at last
civilized people never apologize.
have you ever seen britain apologize to india or to kenya for the bengal famine or the suppression of the mau mau uprising??
what about france apologizing to the people of niger or senegal?
japan apologizing to korea or china?
america doesn't apologize to hawaiians or samoans or cubans. in fact, it sanctions cubans for wanting to be free. they exterminated their native americans - so problem solved - no one to apologize to.
i think the only country that has done any amount of apologizing for anything is germany.
germany is the most civilized country on earth.
also, i think belgium recently started apologizing to congo for what they did. but what they did was truly the stuff of horror films, and difficult to not apologize for.
