Robertson apologizes - sort of

Pat Robertson has apologized for saying that Israeli Prime Minister Sharon's stroke was God's punishment for Sharon's decision to dismantle some Israeli settlements and cede land in Gaza to Palestinians. Robertson had said that Sharon was "dividing God's land" and God wasn't happy.

Two points are worth noting here. First, this apology came after Israel announced that Roberton would no longer be involved in the business venture to develop a theme park along the Sea of Galilee. Second, Robertson apologized for being "insensitive." He didn't apologize for saying that God was punishing Sharon.
