I also apologize for the agony that my country has caused the Arab world, especially now Gaza.
The time I have spent in the Middle East was always marked by the beauty of Arab culture: the hospitality, the warmth, the humor, the food.
We bomb that part of the world then talk about how uncivilized the Arabs are (“Muslims”—many Americans don’t know the difference). What I experienced there was humbling civility and civilized people.
