The BBC does a good article on the remarkable impact the website apologizing to the world for W has had.

The article is here. It says in part:

Election apology starts net feud


A 20-year-old student website ignited the online debate


An online war is under way between Americans who want to apologise for the US presidential election results, and those who are happy with the way it turned out...he site has racked up more than 27 million hits as other people post pictures and view the growing gallery of images.

I don't believe ANYONE was apologizing about Afghanistan.

If you don't perceive any difference between the actions in Afghanistan (an Al-Quida stronghold) and Iraq (where the secular dictatorship had nothing in common with Islamist terrorists, where there were no WMDs but plenty of oil, and where there's little hope of getting disentagled anytime soon), it's not surprising that you think Bush has been doing an OK job.

I would agree.   The 48% of the country that voted for Kerry were indeed "Sorry"

It is interesting to note that no one is sorry for the people being killed in Sudan, the hundreds of millions of people living under dictators without freedom, and the millions of people dying of disease and aids in third world county.   We feel the need to apologize for freeing 50 million people where woman in Afganastan were allowed to vote for the very first time.

I laugh my ass off at how pathetic you are.

I like the site. I hope a lot of people the world over get to see it, and that they'll realize that not all Americans want to invade their countries on flimsy pretexts, for control over their resources.
I'm really impressed by the twenty year old that started and is running this thing, especially what he has to say on the faqs page and how he says it.

Ain't gonna 'pologize for what I didn't do!

Why don't the dems take action?

They're supposedly the unarmed ones!

One last refresh -- just in case anyone who'd be interested hasn't seen it yet.

I'll let this thread die a natural death next time it falls off the bottom of the page.

Tinker, you said it so well. It is comforting to know that so many people feel the way I do about this debacle. Now that we're activated, we must hang together and continue working for our cause(s).

Thanks for posting this link. I love 49% of America! and of the other 51%, I'm sure most of them are good, caring people too, but they had a mad moment at the polling booth.

They should rather be angry than sorry. 2 elections with foul tricks in 4 years, yet nothing happens. Is this the end of democracy in US?

They all tried even harder than they think, because there was voting fraud in that election. The machines changed the votes. My opinion: Bush actually lost both of the last 2 elections. The other problem, however, is...if the Democrats get in they will also work for the New World Order, because it owns them, body and soul.

A lot to be sorry about indeed.

Thanks for posting this PoppaGator. I spent sometime the other day wandering through a few random pages and I have to agree with Amos there was a wonderful feeling of unity and understanding that seemed to be communicated by the various faces and short written statements. Sometimes all you can do is stand up and be counted, and sometimes it isn't enough to change the world. But... there is strength in doing it together.

refresh

I realize there's not much to add to this, or discuss about it, so there's not much prospect of developing an ongoing thread that keeps popping to the top of the list. Just refreshing to allow a few more curious folks to take a peek.

The "F.A.Q." page is well worth reading, too, and a lot quicker to get through than all those pictures.

BWL, you looked at more of those galleries than I have (yet), but I also took note of that "man-chimp" message. If it weren't so sad, it'd be funny.

It's great! I looked at a dozen or so galleries. I was half expecting to see one or more of my children holding up a "We're Sorry" sign. I even changed my computer's background to the one in gallery 2 that says "Witless Americans have again chosen the war-mongering man-chimp as their leader! They should be ashamed."
