Opti, way to say it!
No, Canada has not committed on this one - instead, we have agreed to send peace keepers into Afganistan, so as to free up some more American troops... and we have some ships on the way, but those are mostly support oriented things, not direct combatants.
Most American's don't realize that when Bush says "fuck you UN" that he is also saying "fuck you, rest of the world"... anti-americanism isn't the result of some great publicity campaign from Saddam or Bin Ladin, but because of the actions of the American president himself. The continued growth in anti-americanism is a result of those actions.
What plays well at home don't play well in the rest of the world.
The idea of "get Saddam" is probably a good one - but the PR people are failing big time.
