Not to sound insensitive but that seems like 132 million apologies.
I am sorry so many of you are hung up on a few words, 26 years after the fact in this case.
Those words won't bring back the dead, help survivors with their grief, or make a bit of difference to the families, then or now.
Any apologizing should be done to those that suffered a loss, not some politicians.
Saying the Americans did it first or before is neither a justification or an excuse.
Remember when you were a child and you were asked if your best friend jumped off a bridge would you do it also.
Trying to justify any event based on a past mistake of another just does not work.
You are acknowledging it is wrong but because someone else did it you should be excused, REALLY?
Try that the next time you get pulled over for a traffic violation.
