#1 "Oooops. What have I done?! I...I...was"

I don't know if it's better of worse that he's now sorry for what he did.

#2 They should make him run a gauntlet of very large, very angry opera singers who are still wearing their Wagner costumes. He'll know that it's over when...ah, forget it.

#3 He's not sorry. He's issuing a pro-forma apology that's not meant to express regret. Immediately after the incident, he said that he had a perfect defense, because he was committing a minor crime to prevent a major one. In the Voodoo Pixie universe, marking the holy words "NO WAR" on a sacred site will appease the gods of war, who will retire to play canasta. But the rite must include chanting of slogans and much waving of giant puppets. They didn't have the puppets.

Oh, also they weren't in the Voodoo Pixie universe.

I'll be very surprised if he's deported.

#5 It's easy for him to say he's sorry after the deed is done.

#9 It's amazing, isn't it, how quickly these "principled" guys fall apart once they realize there is a price to pay? The Hollywood crowd is doing exactly the same.

They are cowards, through and through.
