re: Speaking of Rwanda v Iraq

10 Belgian soldiers were executed in Rwanda; as a result, Belgium withdrew from the country and couldn't prevent the genocide of a war Belgium did not start. Because of the failure of preventing, our prime minister, Verhofstadt, apologized.

The Belgian prime minister, Guy Verhofstadt, apologized for his countryâ€™s failures during the genocide. Belgium had withdrawn its peacekeeping troops after ten of its paratroopers were tortured and killed.

Bush started, unprovoked, the second war in Iraq , causing complete chaos in the country and raising terrorism activity in an unprecedented level.
Did Bush apologize for it?
