I'm sorry.
I sorry that so many of your countrymen have died, and that your country is in chaos.
In this time of elections in America, the people get to initiate change, and they have spoken.
I'm reminded of 1974, when the Americans fleeing Siagon were kicking people off the helecopter skids as they flew away. Of course, in Iraq, if there are any Iraqis that would be hanging on those skids, the public wouldn't see it, and for that I'm sorry.
I'm sorry we won't get to rebuild as much as we would might have.
I'm sorry we didn't learn lessons from the past.
At least Saddam is gone from power, and in that I am confident that many of you are happy.
I'm sorry for embarrassments like Abu Garib, and Haliburtons dominance of military contracts.
I'm sorry we didn't flood the country with enough troops to seal the borders, collect all weapons and explosives and encourage more widespread elections. The deal was, we thought you wanted change, which you did, you just didn't want any change we could bring.
I'm sorry you became the brunt of Americas anger after 9-11 when Afganistan wasn't a big enough target, but philoposically, a government that sponcers the familes of suicide bombers in foreign countries is something we can't stomach, and I'm sorry for that.
The history of Iraq is one of the worlds oldest, and it has repeatedly proven itself unable to rise above the tribal infighting, political overthrow and self induced anarchy unless it is ruled by a tyranical iron fist, and I'm sorry that America will likely abandon you now to some new flavor of a Saddam, or a Pol Pot.
Most of all, I'm sorry that the American press got so embroiled in hatred for George Bush that they convinced enough of America that the right thing to do was cut and run and leave you to your fate.
