How did he cave? He did not apologize for his speech, but rather for the sensitivities of those who were offended. I say 'I'm sorry' when I hear someone passses, but that doesn't mean that I killed them, does it? It's freagin' courtesy...statecraft, if you will. The Pope ain't gonna lie, either. If the words of the 14th century emperor are not his personal views, then, they're not his personal views. Demands from FReepers that he take ownership of them aren't much different than the demands by Muslims that he reject them.

No different?? I'll tell you how they're different! WE are not threatening to kill him. WE didn't murder an innocent woman over this.
