In my opinion politicians made the great act of forgiving into another empty gesture.

On most occasions, politicians say what they know people want to hear (political correctness), not always what they feel.

Politilcians will do anything to get re-elected.

HAH! You must be bloody joking! Over here, elections are mud-and-circuses! Two weeks ago, the two contenders for mayor of a large American city faced off at a kids' basketball tournament and dared each other to throw the first punch. Both sides' aides tried to, instead. Police broke the fracas up. The eight-year-old kids were not impressed at seeing their would-be leaders acting like...well...eight-year-olds.
