I wish I had written this:

Our enemies take our apologies at face value, and move forward based on them and the meaning behind them. Liberals, who see them as the opening salvo in a tit-for-tat (our apology to be followed by their apology, to be followed by groups hugs, and fully signed peace treaties – all within 15 minutes) expect their self-humiliation to be reciprocated. Note the dumbfounded expression when the code fails to take hold – the befuddled Barack Obama, for instance, who keeps reaching out to Iran over and over again despite having his hand spit on time after time, because he simply cannot comprehend the rejection of the liberal apology, and knows no other way forward.

The Jersey Nut wrote it, and you can, and should, read it all here.
