A lot of what has gone on between the US and Canada because of the war in Iraq is unfortunate. While we all have our difference we also have similarities and in this instance there are far more similarities than differences. The US and Canada are far more connected than just sharing the longest undefended border in the world. We are interdependent on many things. While there have been differences at times common interests outweigh those differences when either of us is threatened - for example look at the coopereation that is going on at this instant regarding SARS! We should all learn from this recent disagreement - Sometimes our elected leaders - even though they speak for us, do not say exactly what we would like to hear.
