How Not to Apologize

Courtesy of Jane Fonda:

You may have heard that Jane Fonda apologized to Vietnam veterans in her current book. That's incorrect. She expressed "regret" for one photograph, but remains proud of her Radio Hanoi broadcasts, her efforts to achieve a Communist victory, and her attacks on American servicemen as war criminals. She never uses the word "apology."

Apologies are simple things:

1. Admit your error.
2. Promise it will not happen again.
3. Say you're sorry.
4. Ask for forgiveness.
5. Don't do it again.
