Sorry Everybody

You may have seen this in your inbox already, but if not, one of the best sites on the Internet right now is SorryEverybody.com. Most of it is messages from Americans to the rest of the world, apologizing for the election; but there are also numerous messages from people in dozens of countries, offering their forgiveness and encouragement.



As one Canadian says (paraphrasing), "This site is doing more for your international relations than anything else could." Of course, some bemoan the "liberal impulse" to apologize, as if our regret were a bad thing. If it became a self-indulgent pity party, unaccompanied by concrete action, it would be bad; but for myself, I don't think the numerous posts from citizens of other countries, saying that the site has prevented them from hating all Americans indiscriminately, should be dismissed that lightly.
