Can someone please explain to me why George Bush is pathologically unable to apologize for anything? This story about the abuse of Iraqi prisoners highlights this. I think we were wrong (call me crazy) to abuse Iraqi prisoners, yet here's Rumsfeld's take on on apologizing:
"There also was little inclination to officially apologize — a gesture that experts say carries significant weight in Arab societies. When asked about the possibility of apologizing in order to compete in a "war of ideas" in Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he hadn't thought about it."
I'm speechless.

Also, here's a nice opinion piece that highlights how much our relations with Arab states have deteriorated.

Finally, does anybody run streaming radio on their computer? I'm listening to Super 70's with Vince Garcia... it rocks! Playing now is Carol Douglas - "Doctor`s Orders". Wait, I probably shouldn't be admitting that...
