Yeah, you're right. If I look at it like they're apologizing for making a poor, ill informed decision to vote for the wrong person then I guess it makes sense that they're sorry.

I think its interesting that the apologists are more concerned with the majority international opinion than they are the majority American opinion.

That is one of the reasons the candidate you supported was not elected.

So since Kerry can't kiss international butt from the White House, the apologists are compensating. I suppose that's ok.

We need a web site to apologize for the Americans who feel they need to apologize. "We are sorry World that some Americans feel the need to apologize to you."

I agree 404, no apologies coming from this American.

Not all apologists voted for Kerry. Or voted at all.

These people are obviously pretty passionate about what they believe, and they have the right to post whatever they want on that site. Bush supporters of course won't agree with it, but that's life.

I heard about that the other day. It's sad, but I think he's defeating his own cause. Sure, he'll get attention for a few days, but what he did isn't going to help change things when 2008 rolls around.

I voted for Kerry. But I would never put my picture up there.

I'm not going to apologize for my actions, because I did the right thing, voting for Kerry. I'm not going to apologize for Bush voters, because I'm not responsible for them. And I'm sure as hell not going to write things like "I didn't vote for Bush, so please don't bomb my town." That's just pathetic.

Dear SEB,

I am sorry that we did not prepare and use more nuku-lar bombs at the end of WWII for more of you.

I am sorry you do not feel the peace and security of Jesus while taking over other hostile countries preparing to do us harm.

I am truly sorry that there isnt a way to split America into two separate countries, along with the people representing the "urban" vs "rural" philosophies.

And most of all, I am sorry that I do not have a full beer chaser with a full bottle of Southern Comfort directly in front of me at this time.

You don't truly believe that he put that much effort or thinking into this course of action do you?

Nope, I'm sure he didn't. The guy obviously had lots of other problems to pull that kind of stunt. Defintely not a rational decision.

Wouldn't that be more along the lines of having Quayle as your running mate?

No, because having your name next to Quayle's wouldn't remove you from the gene pool.
