Because it didn't come with one? :-) It's come up before, and it's on my to-do list, see:

For the record, I still think it's a bad idea, for the reasons I've given in the past.

I agree with Dinah.

Once a comment receives replies, then the abiity to change it can cause *huge* amounts of confusion.

Bad idea in my opinion

I agree with what has been said above.

I really think an edit function would lead to a LOT of problems.

How about allowing an edit function for up to an hour? That way there will be fewer if any responses and it would allow for poster remorse.
