The problem is that Bush supporters can't understand what a slap in the face his re-election feels to the rest of the world. The US IS the biggest kid on the block at the moment. Our actions impact everyone else. Bush has shown even our allies the back of his hand, and, as someone else commented, a complete refusal to compromise with our friends in the EU or anywhere else.

No, you wouldn't have to apologize to anybody.

Before anything, we are human beings sharing a small, finite planet with other human beings. We'd better start learning how to respect one another and understand each other's point of view. Being American doesn't give us the right to do anything we please, anywhere in the world and expect every other nation to sit on its hands while uttering a stream of praise and compliments for our actions.
