For years the extreme left has been really into
"admitting mistakes" and "apologizing" as though
the failure to do so is tantamount to a serial murderer's
killing spree.
If the murderer would just say he was sorry for what he'd done, then maybe he shouldn't be fried, zapped, euthanized, shot or hung.
The "apology" makes all the difference.
So much psychobabble.
The questions posed to Bush were designed to show
that he's stubborn---not resolute.
The questioners want the US to be wrong, to have
to apologize, to be sufficiently chastened before
the world court of public opinion such that we'll
be effectively impotent.
Hard to understand why that's so important to the left.
Is is guilt?
I suspect that it's partially due to the "head in
sand" syndrome.
If we (the US) can just bury our collective heads
and leave the muslim world alone (after all, we're provoking
all this terrorism and have done for years), then we
can continue with life as usual, driving our Escalades,
airconditioning our homes, and not worrying about
Johnny being called up in a reinstated draft.
The other possibility is a national Stockholm Syndrome.
If we're just nice to the terrorists, they
won't want to kill us. We understand and
feel their pain, and were probably the cause of
it in the first place.
I think the left needs psychotherapy.<g> |
