The Christian concept of 'forgiveness' sounds appealinguntil you get down to cases. Should we forgive Donald
Rumsfeld, for instance? Maybe Jesus has the power
to forgive him, but mere mortals, like you and me, have
a much harder time, knowing, as we do, how much blood
is on his hands and how many sorrows he has inflicted on
our species.

runseld, rove, rice - dont forgive any with an r and in the past adminsitrion
Allah is merciful, but he is also just.
I'll forgive after he apologizes - and an apology consists of 4 parts;
1. Rumsfeld acknowledges what he has done.
2. Rumsfeld says he is sorry for what he has done.
3. Rumsfeld swears he will never do it again.
4. Rumsfeld makes full restitution.
He might get stuck on #4, but i'll wait.
