Boy, I hope that they don't hold Canada responsible for Rwanda.

Don't hold your breath, courts can make all kinds of stupid decisions.

Ask Daillaire why he won't ever visit Belguim in his lifetime.

Because Belgium pulled the bulk of its troops out of UNAMIR and left a small contingent of Canadians plus misc. troops from other countries to contain the damage?

I imagine he'd hold some pretty hard feelings against them.

Nope, not even close. Dallaire doesn't want to go to trial for allowing the murder of Belguim paratroopers under his command. The Belguims left after Romeos colossal failure of leadership.

Did Dallaire order those troops to surrender to the mob? Or was that decision made by the ranking Belgian present?

General Dallaire was in a shit situation with shit resources and no support.
