    Really? What do you base this on? Did it happen before?
    I guess it's the double standard that the HK people don't like.

    Cheepo, if the hostages were killed by Americans, the impotent little Chinese governmental officials would have tucked tails between legs and found a different way to try to make themselves feel important. How's that for double standards?

    The mayor of the Philippine capital will formally apologise over the deaths of eight Hong Kong tourists in a 2010 hostage crisis, an aide said Wednesday, despite the president insisting none should be given.

    Otherwise he would become a communist or a terrorist and be overthrown, or die of cancer like Chavez.

    You thought wrong:

    But President Benigno Aquino has consistently refused to make a formal apology on behalf of the national government, insisting the deaths were primarily caused by the actions of the hostage taker.

    Makes sense that he would.

    They are just going to have to live with that.
