This apology thing is just Clinton good-guy camouflage used to take everyone's attention away from things like the economy, Paula Jones and campaign finance violations. THE bottom line is that time marches on and it leaves a lot of pain in its wake. We can look back and feel bad about certain parts of history but we can't change them. That's the thing. Instead of dwelling on past wrongs, we should be doing something to improve life today for everyone.
Slavery still exists in parts of Africa, where certain tribes buy and sell their ethnic enemies.
Instead, Clinton awards China with Most Favored Nation status. He's only against slavery that happened 150 years ago, not slavery today. Many of them came to America as indentured servants in the 1700s, forced to endure all the accouterment of slavery, like floggings and chains. And maybe Clinton should apologize that Abraham Lincoln actually wasn't so keen on getting rid of slavery from the get-go. In fact, Lincoln said that if he could have maintained the Union without freeing slaves, he would have done it.
