Again, Dallaire has kept this in perspective. Canada has failed to protect a child soldier. Canada has failed to follow the rule of law.
I don't expect much out of the Tories either. They're shrewd in how they ignore/gloss things and play politics. Though I'll admit that the whole "blame Ignatieff" for the Security Council loss was a bit sloppy.
We'll have another election soon enough.
