He’s not the one who owes apology

I am most unhappy that Sen. John Kerry was forced to apologize for comments he made. I, for one, feel there was no apology necessary.

Regardless of which statement was actually what Sen. Kerry said or meant to say both have merit. I read a blog by Carl Brow and I quote, “For all of the critics badmouthing Kerry, it would be interesting to know how many of them have a son or daughter with a bachelors or masters wearing a uniform in Iraq.”

If Sen. Kerry really meant to say “you end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq” that is also very true. Remember that President Bush, AKA Karl Rove, partied in college more than he studied and look at the mess he has gotten us into all because he had no idea of the consequences.

If anyone owes the troops and the American public an apology it is Bush and his cabinet members who lied us into a war that has killed more than 3,000 of our young men, wounded more than 20,000 young men and killed between 30,000 and 600,000 innocent Iraqis. Actually, he owes us more than an apology. He should be down on his hands and knees begging the world for forgiveness for his ignorance. I wonder how differently he would have done things if he had studied more and done his homework?
