Egypt’s Bid for U.S. Apology

President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt asked for an apology from America for capturing a group of hijackers and murderers.

I’m really getting sick and tired of all these Third World leaders telling the United States that we don’t have the right to protect our citizens who are being kidnaped and slaughtered by terrorists who don’t like democracies.

Let’s serve notice on the would-be bandits and international outlaws of this world: the very next person to commit an act of violence against an innocent American citizen is as good as dead. Quick and certain execution might be a slight deterrent to a few of the media-hungry nobodies who try to get with a gun what they can’t earn with their brains.
