I can't believe a leader of a country is apologizing for a murder of a tourist. It might make sense if the death was a direct result of government action. But this was just a random murder. Her actions were nice and feel-good...but sets a bad precedent. If she doesn't apologize next time a foreigner dies, people will ask why.

@Miss_Attitude_70 I took a quick scan of the link. The numbers indicate about 10 tourists killed in the last 30 years or so. Out of millions of visits a year. That is far from a "rash of tourist murders". If I misread the article, please correct me. Otherwise, I encourage you to stop using alarmist rhetoric and massive generalizations.

Well said. And no one can disagree this was a tragedy and we should all feel grief. But I also think it's illogical for a country's leader to apologize for an action out of the country's control. And it sets a very bad precedent. The next time a tragedy like this happens, New Zealand's leader will be in a complete no-win situation. If they apologize, they continue the bad precedent. If they don't, they look heartless.

@browngirlwhiteboy4043 That's a very good description of Obama.
