At the same time, I think there is a counter group. To give you one clear example of a success story for what I called the "human security coalition," and that is that within a couple of months, the International Criminal Court will be a reality. There are now 56 countries that have ratified it, and there are eight or nine lined up. And it only takes 60, so probably by this summer the International Criminal Court will be in existence. There again Canada played an active role... It would be a cornerstone of the emergence of the new international criminal justice system.
I think there is a fundamental debate going on. The debate is not as Mr. Bush said between those who are the so-called "axis of evil" versus the good guys; the real debate is between those believe in the rule of law, international cooperation and collaboration, as opposed to those who think you can make your way by using force.
