Is it a bad idea to force kids to apologize for things they've done?

This week, BET founder Bob Johnson made sure to say he was ''truly sorry'' when he apologized to Barack Obama for his ''uncalled-for comments'' (aka, apparent allusions to Obama's drug use). Which somehow only made it seem more likely that the Clintons forced him to apologize in the first place. Begging forgiveness is an art. Even when it's carefully considered, as this effort must have been, it's hard to pull off gracefully. Which leads me to a question: Is it good parenting to make your kids say they're sorry to other kids whom they've wronged?
