I know that it means only what people want it to mean.
My point was that in the Globe and Mail article that statment is exactly what the National Council on Canada-Arab Relations asked for.
My other point was more of a question. Does this statement mean that Harper has modified his opinion (even a little) as the situation has progressed. I don't know. I thought that it did not but on the way in to work I was listening to a talk channel with a respected local newsperson (host) who was saying that Harper was flip flopping.

This is nice to hear.
When people say that Spain and London were attacked becuase theysupported the US war efforts it is a problem.
People around the workd may have been unhappy (very unhappy) with their support of the US war efforts but they were attacked becuase terrorists chose to terrorize them.
What makes a free society great is that we can pretty much go around saying and acting as we feel (within leagal and societal limits).
