The "apology" was thin and watery nor does it address the real problems it is in danger of causing. It's not the accusation alone that does the harm but the ideology that gave rise to the possibility that the accusation could be responsibly made in any way, shape, or form because it could not. It would be terribly objectionable, irresponsible, and reprehensible to accuse any Italian of being a Mussolini, any German of being a Hitler, or any Russian of being a Stalin. The only correct response for any such offending speech is to remove such a person from the company of reasonable people.
