br> Colorado /p> p> There is a middle position between apologizing for saying something wrong and "apologizing" for the fact that others were offended by one's words because of the way they interpreted them. In the future, people in situations like those of the pope and Senator John Kerry could more accurately reflect what they should be sorry for by saying: "I apologize for saying things in a way that I now see is susceptible to being interpreted in a way that offends people and is unacceptable." br> -- Richard L.A. Schaefer br> Dubuque, Iowa /p> p> Kerry said exactly what he wanted to say about our troops, because as usual he was pandering to his audience! Kerry's apology is not an apology! Posting on his blog is cowardice. Where is the new conference? He just slammed the troops and Americans again -- by stating that he is apologizing that his words are being misinterpreted??? By whom -- Kerry! We all get it and Mr. Kerry you were not telling a joke, but trying to further your political career on the backs of our troops as you have done since 1971! Mr. Kerry you have no honor. Our troops do and they responded swiftly and decisively, I love them!! In addition, the silence from Pelosi & Reid (Democrat leaders) is deafening, and very telling of how these leaders have contempt for our military -- Hmmmm. Don't these 2 usual run to the microphone at the drop of a hat? Where are they? br> -- Kathy br> Arizona /p>

Lighten up, people! John Kerry meant nothing malicious to soldiers in Iraq, he just flubbed his punch line.

And I can prove it by asking you to picture John Kerry telling a joke. Now imagine his audience laughing.

p>See what I mean? I can't imagine it either.
