Go ahead,
Ask. You might just get an apology from Carter II.

But real Americans will never apologize. There is no reason to.

I agree with ladronaso that it s a waste of time to ask for an apology.. Let's move forward not backwards.
A few historical facts straight from the source as I have interviewed both sides of the Dominican civil war:
The US intervention was formally requested by Coronel Pedro Bartolome Benoit in a letter (at the time head of the military junta of San Isidro Air Force Base) at the request of US ambassador William Tapley Bennett who had just returned from his home state of Georgia, and had thrown out of the US Embassy Coronel Francis Caamaño who was looking for US mediation in the conflict.
General Wessin was a fervent catholic believer and fanatic anti-communist and had been as a coronel instrumental in installing democracy in the DR by his role in the events after the death of Trujillo, and was considered a hero by his men at the CEFA (Centro de Enseñanza de las Fuerzas Armadas) the unit that held most of the tanks in the San Isidro Air Force base. He was adored by his subordinates, living a frugal life in the barracks.
General Wessin having had a visible participation in the overthrow of Juan Bosch in 1963 did not agree to the return of Juan Bosch and instead proposed a military junta to govern the country and replace the Triunvirate headed by Donald Reid Cabral.
General Wessin fought valiantly and ruthlessly against the constitutionalist forces while some of his fellow generals and high ranking officers were having nervous break downs and were ready to surrender to the forces led by Coronel Caamaño.
After secret peace agreements were reached by the US mediation, he was forcibly put on a helicopter and sent to exile in Miami.
After he returned from exile where he had a diplomatic post he led a conspiracy to get rid of Balaguer and he was arrested and paraded on TV where he did not say a word to Balaguer when questioned.
Many years later Balaguer re commissioned him in the armed forces and gave him the top post as Secretary of the Armed Forces. He is now retired.
I write this clarification in the interest of accuracy, completely without any inclinations of support to General Wessin's poltical views. I do not agree with his actions and would have preferred that he had sided with coronel Caamaño's and refrain from a costly civil war that caused the US invasion.
In retrospect USA Ambassador's Bentley was entirely responsible for the breakdown of the talks as he was partial to the Wessin faction and did not agree with the return of Juan Bosch. My theory is that the civil war could have been avoided by meeting both sides half way with a provisional civilian government that would call for elections in a relatively short time, which was the same solution that was agreed after both sides suffered over 3,000 death and untold numbers of wounded.
Ambassador Bennett just inflamed Coronel Caamaño and polarized both factions into their own hard core positions.

If they did not impeach George W. Bush then they really won't impeach anyone.
