Allow me to apologize for all the missiles we keep firing on your country...in the name of "peace" of course.
I dunno what to think about the drone attacks. If you've seen Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, there's a remarkable scene in there where the humans kept firing at the demons from space and the actual result was that the demons burrowed deeper and deeper into the earth. That's one of the side-effects of these attacks. Even though temporarily the numbers of Taliban decrease, they're increasing in the long-term because they burrow deeper inside Pakistan's territory and also developing a following of sympathizers. The Taliban must be stopped - there's no question about it! But sadly, the drones aren't accomplishing that goal. I wish that Madressas were out-laws or at least have their cirricula taken under some sort of control. Not an easy task at all, unfortunately.
Appreciate the sentiments - but I honestly don't think Americans should be apologizing for their Government's actions - if those actions stem from good intentions.
