Apologies go a long way toward helping people release others from accountibility and justice.

So when Washington apologizes for rushing America to invade Iraq, it really just collectively wants to get the process over with and to make it more difficult for those who want to harp on the subject. It is all a part of the run-up to the invasion of Iran.

So years from now we will be saying,

"Everyone recognized that Washington rushed the nation into a pre-emptive, unnecessary war of conquest in Iraq, but no one did anything about it. Washington apologized and that was that. So when it came time to invade Iran, nothing in our political culture had changed to prevent yet another rush to war. Now that the American death toll in its current wars is approaching that of World War 2's 400,000, is it time that we fix what's wrong with our political system rather than just repeating the process of apology and invasion?"

But no one will read these words because they don't appear on a high-traffic web site.

There's something to be said for an expression of genuine remorse. It is easier to forgive someone who appears to be suffering for what he did. An insincere apology makes the original hurt worse, because it's treating the pain as if it doesn't matter.
Nevrtheless, forgiving those who don't "deserve" it -- rising above their baseness -- can be a liberating experience.

Hi, B'Gone,

Forgiving, in my experience,is more difficult than apologizing. Forgiving great injury -- that's where the grace of God is so needed. I do believe that without the grace of God to help us, the worst injuries can't be forgiven because we are to weak to forgive the worst injuries. At least, in my experience that is practically impossible.

And hence the need for the grace of God *and* our recognition that we need it.

Your glove is a near perfect fit for the hand cited but does not address the question of public figures like Imus and many others. When it comes to them your "self inflicted wound" of not forgiving fits right around 30% of the population who are not about to forgive anyone in their opposition's camp for anything. I can't help but notice that they are equally quick to bear the pain of the "self inflicted wound" of never apologizing when they are wrong. Now tak Mr Bush for example.

Confession is a situation where God does the forgiving. That should be limited to offences against God, however, murder and other obvious transgressions against people are also included on the list of what God forgives? If Adolph Hitler had a sincere "purpose of amendment" would God forgive? There's 10 to 15 million Jews that have a reasonable "self inflicted wound" of failure to forgive that saying "I'm sorry" no matter how sincere is not likely to cover.

Coauld the best plan be to never hurt anyone on purpose? Maybe that would tame our savage world a little if taught to the children rather than Jesus forgives?
