sorry?

Do people seriously think Kim Jong Il feels any sorrow or regret for his nuke test? I doubt his recent expression of contrition was truly meant to be contrite. If anything, it was probably a non-apology along the lines of "I'm sorry that you were offended"-- a marked difference from "I'm sorry I offended you."

Koreans aren't usually satisfied with Japanese expressions of "regret." Why should China be satisfied with North Korea's?
