Apology, hell!  How about a full and real renunciation of our disastrous foreign policy.  Then, how about jail time for every government agent who participated in this and similar incidents -- regardless of the innocence of the victim.  To pose innocence as a ground for regret is to miss completely the moral bankruptcy that has seized the state.

Where Is The Outrage? by Judge Andrew P. Napolitano on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent

The Judeo-Christian and constitutionally mandated relationship between government power and individual liberty is not balance. It is bias — a bias in favor of liberty. All presumptions should favor the natural rights of individuals, not the delegated and seized powers of the government. Individual liberty, not government power, is the default position because persons are immortal and created in God's image, and governments are temporary and based on force. -- Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
