Today, Pope Benedict XVI apologized to the Muslim world for referencing language considered offensive to them. But did he really apologize?
It sounded like an apology, but it really was an appeasement. It is something you say to a small child to make him happy. He said he was sorry for how they reacted to his words. He never said he was sorry for using those words. In essence, he said what I predicted: the words of the Byzantine emperor were only referenced as part of a larger speech, and not a reflection of his personal views. Duh!
How about a lollipop to go along with your tear-stained smile? Would you like that?
