[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1133928, member: 74895"] There are countless examples TBH. Why doesn't the US express regret over what it did in Vietnam and Hiroshima? Not sure what the timescales for these things are but maybe we have to wait until everyone involved has died off before the next generations can apologise on their behalf. The problem with reparations is that as soon as one country agrees to cough up you then have a bandwagon effect with so much stuff coming out of the woodwork. Sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lie and just acknowledge any past atrocities and apologise for it. In some ways it's easier to apologise for someone else's mistakes. [/QUOTE]
