My question is, how would you feel if Osama Bin Laden or another taliban leader, years down the road, apologized for 9/11?

I mean, seriously. What would you do? How would you feel about that? What if it wasn't years later, but now?



I've discovered the key to the flawed American mindset:

Apologizing.


Why is it that every time something wrong happens, American's assume they can just apologize and make it all better?
I used to think my mom was just being biased or prejudiced. Now I realize that at least on this, she was right.

We've got to learn that simply saying "I'm sorry" fixes nothing.

Someone can apologize to ease their guilty conscious, but that doesn't undo what they did. Someone can apologize all they want, that's not going to free them of consequences

I think apologizing and taking action to make things right isn't bad. But most of the time America is apologizing for things that other people did in the past, like slavery (or secret STD experiments), and they're apologizing (and paying money) to people they didn't do it to, like modern day African-Americans who were never slaves. Then the apology seems meaningless.
