What is Mrs. Clinton's "responsibility taking" good for? It is pointless, isn't it? In oriental and other societies, an official taking responsibility for something serious, apologize, and then resigns on the spot. Apologies and taking responsibility in the West is quite preposterous, because it doesn't mean anything. Taking responsibility means some heads responsible for must roll, not just speaking in a microphone about taking responsibility, then turning your back and leave without actually "being held responsible or accountable for." It is just a pathetic parlance - nothing more! Worse yet, the Republicans are exploiting the death of ambassador Stevens by blaming Mr. Obama, and by blaming Mrs. Clinton for covering up for him!
What happened in Libya reminds us how the vast and sluggish "public bureaucracies" -including the State Department- work. It is more loitering than action, because impeding action has to go through the hoops of various jurisdictions and approvals before something moves on. And when things go wrong, someone declares that they take responsibility - "scot-free" that is, they close the books, and then the political opponents start the lynching! It is all a postmortem and highly politicized whitewash and hogwash! Nikos Retsos, retired professor
