I read this over and over again and ask myself why the need to make such a submissive statement in the light of an article that was detracted? Surely the detraction should have been sufficient? (We know that no muslim will believe the detraction anyway, so the apology, the pathetic assurances from Condi sound more like FEAR than a goodwill gesture.) Sometimes, silence really is golden, mouth shut would have made more sense IMO.

Thank You Fred. You hit the nail on the head.

And thanks to you too, expatguy. I have never been more sorry to be in the 'right' - although I'm an Aussie and couldn't vote for her anyway, she was my fanciful choice for President. I really do hope this pathetic apology to a cult that killed over 3,000 Americans doesn't go against her. Frankly, if I was an American, I would tell her, don't bother to run, that's how disgusted I am.
