I noticed that an ad at the top of "Citizens or soldiers, which do we want" is for Mitt Romney, probably because I quote from The American Conservative". (You may see a different ad.)
The ad boldly repeats Romney's assertion, "I will never apologize for America." I am afraid of leaders who assert, "My country, always right!" I'm sorry, Mr. Romney, but history is full of aggressive acts by American governments where others were pushed aside for American "interests".
I guess Romney would not apologize for the atrocities against Native Americans that have been admitted by other presidents. Note: the measure was introduced into the U.S. Senate by Sam Brownback, R-KS with the words: “to officially apologize for the past ill-conceived policies by the US Government toward the Native Peoples of this land and re-affirm our commitment toward healing our nation’s wounds and working toward establishing better relationships rooted in reconciliation.” See http://nativevotewa.wordpress.com/2009/12/31/president-obama-signs-native-american-apology-resolution/.
I guess he would not apologize for the internment of Japanese-Americans as did his hero, Ronald Reagan. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_American_internment.
I guess he would not apologize for an American sniper using the Qu'ran for target practice as did his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush. See "Real conservatives can say they're sorry", Nicholaus Mills, CNN, 2012-09-20.
I guess he would not apologize for the atrocities committed by U.S. soldiers in the Philipines (see "Revolt in the Ranks" written by a conservative).
I guess he would not apologize for all the meddling in other countries' affairs that we would not tolerate if done by other countries to us.
