Too bad you don't have time left to edit that one.
I don't need too. The aircraft broke up on the ground.

You do realize that we didn't have to agree to even allow them to act as an arbiter, since we don't recognize that court? And, an apology doesn't have to have the words "sorry" or "apology" for it to be an apology. Expressing regret is the same as saying sorry or apologizing. We never denied culpability, as Russia and the Eastern Ukraine Rebels are doing, and we also admitted culpability when we expressed regret and then paid the money.
The height of American arrogance.

My friend. Today is not a good day to get on my bad side with quotes taken out of context to meet your anti-American agenda or to imply that I am, or anything I say is - the height of American arrogance. And, it ain't arrogance, it's called SOVEREIGNTY.
Look, you and I have been able to get along for years now. I ignore the things I think are bat**** crazy that you say, and you ignore the things that you think are bat**** crazy that I say.
I suggest we continue with that and end this conversation on this subject right now. Deal?
Ok Beau, deal, but it was Bush's comment that I claimed arrogant, nothing you've ever said
Thanks Monte. I shouldn't have called you or your post Anti-American. Like I said, I'm having a bad day, and my temper is on a hair trigger right now.
I publicly apologize to you. It was uncalled for and you deserve more respect than that, especially from me.
Excuse me. I didn't know you had already conducted an investigation, my apologies.
I'm fully aware that you haven't done any research. :roll:
You are the one that is questioning the translation, if you have any doubt then you should check with the Russians. Oh wait, they never mentioned it because there covering it up. Oh yeah, cause we're going to believe the same foreign minister that was trying to convince the world those weren't Russian troops in Crimea. I wouldn't believe him if he told me the sky was blue, since there's no such thing as a free press in Russia anyways. And we didn't choose a side in this conflict, it chose us. Not our fault that the Ukrainians kicked out the Russian Puppet President.
Finally, If we're so imperialistic, then how come we keep giving up countries we've fought for huh? The only imperialist in this conversation is the Russians... or did you not see them just annex Crimea?
The height of American arrogance.

Only by wackos.It could be argued that the EU annexed Ukraine several months ago, supporting a violent coup, the overthrow of the Ukraine government and installing a pro Russian government.
What's wrong with what Bush said? You also accused me of being "Pro American" as well.
Do you expect apologies from every national leader or only Americans?
Only by wackos.
Why should George Bush apologize for America?There's nothing wrong with apologising when you've erred. Do you have difficulty with it?
Why should George Bush apologize for America?
Well then only a wacko would accuse Russia of annexing Crimea when through self determination, they JOINED Russia!

In fact that wasn't the claim. Do you need a reminder again?
Everybody would do good to apologise when they've done wrong. Don't understand your objection.
What's your point Grant?
But every country isn't apologizing when doing wrong, are they? Why should it just be America, or are you looking for apologies for every country everywhere and, if they don't apologize, are they the height of arrogance as well??
Can you not see the difference between the two statements?
