Have we really become so arrogant (as a nation) that it is beneath us to apologize for
making a mistake? From the howls of
protest coming from sea to shining sea over our president making a public
apology to the Afghan people for the accidental(?) burning of some Qurans and religious
texts while cleaning out a library on a military base in the country, it would
seem that we have.
As indicated, there is
another thing about the incident that bothers me. For what were we doing burning books of any kind in the
first-place?
No, the
violent reaction of the Afghan people is certainly not helping. For with them rioting in the streets and
murdering U.S. servicemen, they just bolster the resolve of those who think
that we have not done anything to apologize for.
Ah,
but there is a warning in place that we would do well to heed. For it is written: Pride goeth before destruction, and a
haughty spirit before a fall. [Proverbs 16:18 KJV]

Well, Obama has to apologize, doesn't he, or he'll be kicked out of the local Muslim temple that he belongs to, right?
Please, don't let anyone try to convince you that you are not really good at being utterly ridiculous, my dear RN.
