text: in the movie siriana, what did he mean by "you're the canadian"? and why did george clooney just stand there?   he recognized him as the canadian man in the elevator from the hotel.  if anything he was just confused to see him.  the standing didn't last that long since they were blown up immediately.  also, i think the prince's men were probably holding guns on him.  i don't think there was a whole lot to read into that ending other than the symbolism of the u.s. destroying two men who were trying to do what they thought was right.
