Obama's Letters of No Apology
By Paul Street
11/08/08 "Dissident Voice" - -- Should Barack Obama's volunteers mail
"Letters of No Apology" to survivors of the large number of people killed by
U.S. imperial assault in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Recently Obama was asked by CNN's Candy Crowley if "there's anything that's
happened in the past 7 1/2 years that the U.S. needs to apologize for in
terms of foreign policy?" Obama responded by saying, "No, I don't believe in
the U.S. apologizing. As I said I think the war in Iraq was a mistake. We
didn't keep our eye on the ball in Afghanistan. But, you know, hindsight is
20/20, and I'm much more interested in looking forward rather than looking
backwards." The United States, Obama told Crowley, "remains overwhelmingly a
force of good in the world."1
