8. why? the American people are largely blind to all of the
horridness of the US government as it wills things across the globe. Most people in the world don't hate Americans (except the rude, arrogant, flashy ones that I as an American also hate). They hate the American goverment. They hate American foreign policy.
We should not cast ourselves as apologetic to the world. We try our hardest. The people signing the letter are trying to speak for the government over which they have no real accountability.
We need to change regimes and THEN the US President should offer formal apologies on behalf of state department and other groups responsible for absolutely abominable foreign relations with allies.
