Apologize to no one. Remind those of our sacrifice, and don't confuse arrogance with leadership. If I added correctly, the count is 104,366 dead. And we have to watch an American elected leader who apologizes to Europe and the Middle East that our country is "arrogant"! How many French, Dutch, Italians, Belgians and Brits are buried on our soil, defending us against our enemies? We don't ask for praise...but we have absolutely no need to apologize!
