What I said wasn't spoken in ignorance. It was spoken in
anger to another person, not you. I don't think I'd say
those things to you, because I know you better, and I'm
sure you wouldn't disrepect my country to me, and I certainly
won't to you. Australia is our friend. We fought side-by-side
in Europe and Asia in WW's 1 & 2, Korea, and Vietnam. We
are blood relations, our two countries, spawn of the British
Empire. Whether or not you accept my apology is up to you,
but I still do apologize to you for my comments. I know they're
wrong, and like I said , they were directed out of anger and frustration to someone else, not you.
