So, David Cameron is "sorry".
Is he sorry that no one is his government thought to get our citizens out of Libya? Sorry does not seem to cover it, in my book. The anguish of the people and their families must have been unbearable.
So whose job is it to think of such things? The PM? The Foreign Secretary? Little Nicky Clegg? One of their army of civil servants or just anyone with a bit more sense than they were born with?
Saying sorry for a mistake or something that we have done wrong is what we are taught as children. That's fine if we have split a drink or said something stupid in the heat of the moment. However, there are times when "sorry" just will not do. If we forget someone's birthday, we send flowers or make reparation in some other way.
If we forget someone completely and leave them to fend for themselves in the middle of a war zone, one would hope that they and their families have been given something tangible to help them over the trauma. I doubt it.

- Moobian Prince is the alter ego of a British bloke. He is not Moobian and he is not a Prince. He has to be circumspect about his identity so as not to piss off the hand that feeds him! The alias also enables frank and honest views. He truly loves the world we live in but often finds the way we run it to be jaw-droppingly incredulous. He hates injustice and downright stupidity - even, on occasions, his own.
