I kinda feel like also the world should apologize to us, and I'll tell you why...
Not all Americans fit the stereotype of the arrogant, stubborn, proud, and stupid American. Many of us appreciate other cultures, ethinicities, and nations, and therefore we travel around the world as a sign of admiration for the world outside America. We know there's a beautiful and interesting world outside our borders.
But it happens that Americans are not sometimes very well received or treated on other nations, including Europe. Trust me, I've heard stories of Americans who have had very unpleasant trips around the world, and many times it makes them wish never to that particular country ever again.
So for all the non-Americans out there... Next time you see an American tourist, be nice and kind. We like to visit your countries because we truly admire and respect your culture.
Besides, the extremely arrogant and cocky number of Americans that people around the world seem to hate so much, hardly ever leave the country because they just think that there's nothing good across our borders.
Arrogance is people apologizing to the rest of the world because they did not get their way.
The rest of the world need not apologize to us, only those who stereotype us. Apologies should be given if what one is sorry for was a direct result of what one did. Not having Bush ousted was not the fault of the people who contributed to that website. They have nothing to apologize for.
Can we get the Brazillians to apologize for cutting great swathes of the rain forest down?
How about the Japanese for shark & whale hunting?
I am sure there are other examples that can be added.........
If you want to apologize to anyone, make it the Kerry volunteers. Upwards a year we have worked for this man, and we still get nothing from it.
Though I must say - except for the time when Joe Lockheart's dog was throwing up what appeared to be squirrel parts in the lounge of the Cincinnati Kerry offices, it was kind of fun.

Yep - that's one of those situations I don't understand! Let's go to Dresden, scene of one of the most horrific acts of the war and ask them to put it all behind us - by mentioning it all over again after 60 years.

I think you'll find Mr Hitler was Austrian. Sorry to be pedantic but we shouldn't put all the blame on the krauts.
