That's not the way people in other parts of world see it. They see it as an apology. Accept it DMA, you guys are being taken on a ride same way Chinese govt. is taking it's people on a ride.

And despite generally sycophantic media treatments of how Bush handled the crisis, there is some indication that other countries believe Bush blinked. In the United Arab Emirates, China is now being held up as a role model. "Washington's doubt apology to Beijing [sic] ... embarrassed the US administration," writes Dubai's Al Bayan newspaper. "China's insistence on obtaining a U.S. apology of a valuable lesson and Arabs and others should learn from it carefully and benefit from it if they want to break the U.S. arrogance ... We need to draw lessons from China's policy, which stood firm and got what it wanted at the end of the day."
