I won't apologise for Cretiens stance nor should any Canadian. 9/11 was a huge travesty, in which I lost friends whom I miss dearly, but that doesn't mean Canada needed to get involved whatsoever. Our 'big brother' to the S is more than capable of fighting it's own battles, as well as battles they have no right to even be involved in (Iraq, Korea, Vietnam etc).
As for those whom tout the WPD as the reason for invading Iraq? What's next? Pakistan or India? Hell, they're developing nuclear weapons to use on each other, but since there's no real US interests there they'll just let them nuke each other eventually and let the fallout kill anything bordering the 2.
The only time the US forces it's might, since WW2, is when it's interests are threatened. Whether the threats be credible or imagined.
And just to clarify, when I say the US I mean the government, not the people. There's a lot of folks that live stateside I know that share the same POV.
