The One Minute Apology and Saudi Apology Controversy
Cal Thomas notes Ken Blanchard and Margret McBride's new book The One Minute Apology and contrasts it with a Saudi letter to President Bush offering condolences. He argues true apologies require responsibility and vows not to repeat harm, and questions the Saudis' stance amid anti Jewish and anti Christian sermons and oil diplomacy. The column ends with Thomas acknowledging his own feelings and offering an apology.
