The scary thing is that you guys probably believe your own bullshit. The real scary thing is some people think apologizing for something you did not do is anything more than showing weakness. The military of China is just solidifying their first among equals status with this hard line on apologies. Talk to them and get them to soften their stance.;) They are scaring my cat, he's Tonkinese.

Scum, The scary thing is that you consider CDs and DVDs more important than the US position in the world, and the lives of the prisoners. The only way to save those people is a display of strength, and instilling the knowledge into the heads of the chicoms, that we can, and will, kick their butts if they harm those people.

Next you'll want the US to apologize to Japan for Pearl Harbor.

APOLOGY TO THE PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA It is with deep regret, hesitation, and contrition that I, The President of the United States of America, offer apology to the Chinese nation and its peoples. I apologize for the heinous act performed by our large, sluggish, propeller driven, airplane when it got in the way of your highly maneuverable, supersonic, technologically superior, jet aircraft. Furthermore, I sincerely regret the fact that by flying in international airspace, we afforded your "highly competent" pilot the opportunity to fly his aircraft into our own, causing him to spiral to his death into the ocean. We regret the choice made by said pilot when he used deficient judgment in electing to attempt aerial intimidation upon our slower moving, unarmed, surveillance vehicle. This situation brings to mind a similar episode when I was in grade school and my face got in the way of the school yard bully's fist. He broke a bone in his hand and I felt as compelled to apologize for that incident as I do for this one. Let me summarize by stating that it is our sincere hope that you accept this "heart felt" and "sincere" apology for the actions committed by your pilot. We are sorry that we got in the way. We are sorry that we were forced to leave international airspace and land in Chinese territory. We are sorry that you were forced to provide food and housing for our military personnel. Most of all, we are sorry that you have, in your possession, some of our most technologically advanced surveillance equipment on the planet. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us. I hope that soon you will be compelled to release our men and our property. Because I really don't want to have to apologize again when we have to kick your ass. Sincerely, George W. Bush President of the United States
