Not really. Our appology should not be to the Syrian government, but to the families of the civilians who were killed. Any time innocent civilians are killed, there needs to be an appology. Otherwise the appearance is that they were targeted, or that we simply don't care. Even with an appology many will think that. But some may be on the fence about it, and an appology will help. I don't have to tell you that public opinion of our military in that part of the world is crap. We need to do whatever we can to help repair that, even if it takes many years.
