He knows nothing about them because they are not a predominately muslim country. If they were, he would be bowing and scraping all over the place with information about them, let alone another apology to them for the EVILS of the USA.
Yes, Obama will apologize for the evils of US history, if he knows we fought a dirty Vietnam-like war in the Philippines at the beginning of the twentieth century. Considering the historical errors he has made already, I wonder if he even knows the Philippines used to be part of the US.
On the other hand, I don’t picture him “bowing and scraping” before a woman president.
