not representative of the vast majority of thinking Americans.

Postings such as RHF proclaiming how it made him proud to be an
American when he read of the US military killings of Canadian soldiers
is so beyond the pale of human decency it is unbelievable.

What is really alarming is that the individual who composed such a
sentiment for the world (and posterity) to read is not a maladjusted
teenager with a pathological need for attention. It was the proud
exclamation of a retired government "worker". Evidently the only
difference between him and the described teenager would be their age.

Once again, please accept my/our sincerest apologies.

You have so little faith in those from other countries that I find it
denigrating to them. Do you think they cannot see that the postings
you refer to are from individuals and not all Americans? Do you have
such little faith in their intelligence and feel yourself so superior
you must explain this? Your 'group apology' also speaks little of
your confidence in Americans that you feel you must apologize for us.
Speaking of which, you do NOT speak for "us" you speak only for
yourself. Frankly I am more insulted by your 'group apology' than by
those from other countries who are critical of the US........at least
they speak for themselves.
