How long do they have to say sorry?

Does the USA apologise on the anniversary of the Mexican-American war it started?

Or do they hail the fighters in song to praise them? From the Halls of Montezuma...

Does France still have to apologise for Napoleon?

Does Mongolia still have to apologise for Genghis Khan?

Does Italy still have to apologise for what Julius Caesar did to Gaul (France & Belguim)?
