[Moloch]

OTTAWA - President Bush (news - web sites) and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin sought on Tuesday to mend fences after four years of strained relations between the two neighbors aggravated by the U.S.-led war on Iraq (news - web sites). "I made some decisions that some in Canada obviously didn't agree with," Bush said.

"I'm the kind of fellow who does what I think is right," Bush said in the Canadian capital, with Martin at his side.

For his part, Martin said, "There are obviously disagreements on questions of foreign policy," as well as differences on trade, including such issues as softwood lumber.
