Yes, to those in Latin America that we have offended in so many ways by interfering with their governments. Who can blame them for the "leaders" they are following now? David Zollars

Someone said that just as in our time we can see further into the future, we can also see further into the past than any previous generation. There are some things we see now that are so egregious they demand both some kind of truth commission and formal apology. Reparations is another matter, which I won't address here.
It is heartening to see the Australians take this step. The United States should consider a formal apology to African-Americans and Indians, to the Japanese for their World War II internment and to the Japanese and German people for the bombing of civilians.
Would anyone want to add to this list?
Herman

Could our colleagues from down under (depending on the time of day) fill us in on the proposed apology?
Sounds "Too marvelous for words."
