And don't forget how the 'government' had to apologize for the internment of Japanese citizens during WWII. When in god's name are we going to stop  constantly having to apologize for the sins of our forefathers. I don't know when it started but we have this penchant for judging the actions of yesterday by the standards of today. It is total nonsense. If attitudes don't change a  hundred years from now they will be looking back on how we managed things and will probably judge us rather harshly.  Somebody might even demand that the government of the day apologize for our 'wise' decision making.  Just saying.
