Apparently, the State Department (run by you know who) didn't just express condolences to the family of terrorist Samir Khan, who was killed in an air strike along with Anwar Awlaki, but extended an apology for not having contacted them sooner.

How about Khan's family apologize to us for raising a terrorist for a son, who was living in their house in Charlotte and operating a web site urging the killing of Americans?
Maybe we can search out any surviving relatives of Hitler and apologize to them for driving poor little Adolf to suicide? It's never too late for America to apologize for all its "crimes", you know.
Gary is becoming quite a collectivist: the acts of the children are the responsibility of the parents, who if they had only raised them better could have prevented it all. Perhaps we should resume the literal practice of vendetta: if a person commits an offense, whether criminal or not, the offended party (or nation) may and should hunt down and kill everyone who is related by blood or marriage.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, the analogy for the apology would not be to Adolf Hitler, but perhaps to the family of the Berchtesgaden gardener.
I hope the family will already know that it is simply not good manners to reject a heartfelt apology.
ReplyDeleteNow that all that messy business is behind us now we can join hands and sing Kum Baya.
Samir Khan certainly must have apologized to us for his bad manners.
Now that I think of it, we should really have sent flowers. Maybe they will still be mad at us because of this additional slight.

As I recall, the Mossad used to send flowers -- funeral arrangements, the day BEFORE someone died.
