I can't say I am surprised by his take on all of this.
While I am sure he feels for the canadians that were killed they are but motes in a storm compared to the larger picture -- a larger picture that Harper has no idea how to deal with.
He is showing his lack of international experience at a very terrible moment. He has fallen back on his old saw of, "being decisive" (he likes to be a "decider" too). It isn't surprising that he is parroting Bush's position on all of this (only that he went a step further in his support of Israel).
I have a feeling Harper won't make these mistakes again.
