What Apology?

President Bush last night on "60 Minutes":
PELLEY: Do you think you owe the Iraqi people an apology for not doing a better job?

BUSH: That we didn't do a better job or they didn't do a better job?

PELLEY: Well, that the United States did not do a better job in providing security after the invasion.

BUSH: Not at all. I am proud of the efforts we did. We liberated that country from a tyrant. I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude, and I believe most Iraqis express that. I mean, the people understand that we've endured great sacrifice to help them. That's the problem here in America. They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that's significant enough in Iraq.
Right on Mr. President. Clearly the thousands of innocent civilians killed in Iraq each month should have sent thank you notes to the White House before they were blown up eating at a cafe, shopping at a market, or walking their kids to school.
