Michael Grant Ignatieff, lived in the United States from 2000 to 2005. While there, he was director of Harvard's Carr Center for Human Rights Policy. In the days leading up to the military invasion of Iraq by the USA, Mike, the visitor gifted with internationalist gravitas, beat the gong in favour of the US military invasion. He was an enthusiast.

In an article from 2007, Ignatieff another of the former Liberal leadership hopefuls, talked about his rather too recent for comfort support for the Bush regime's invasion of Iraq:

"The unfolding catastrophe in Iraq has condemned the political judgment of a president," Ignatieff wrote of U.S. President George Bush.

"But it has also condemned the judgment of many others, myself included, who as commentators supported the invasion."

Ignatieff said he started supporting the war after speaking with an Iraqi friend who told him freedom in the country could only come once Saddam Hussein was ousted and his regime came to an end.

"How distant a dream that now seems," he wrote.

So much for Mike's distant dreams, a dream he beat the bushes for in the imperial centre, the USA, in the days leading up to the US preemptive War. Blood is on his hands The people of Etobicoke—Lakeshore should hear and see clips of their bright Wilsonian internationalist Michael Ignatieff on Charlie Rose and other Political Talk Shows, justifying the ways of the US War to those who anxiously awaited such reassurances. Someone gifted to the info arts should select from Michael's most ardent oratorical pieces of tub-beating for the Invasion and string them together...

When will the Liberal Party of Canada, that degraded thieving entity bloated with fools and crooks, regenerate itself and come up with centre-left Leaders with some judgment? It is going to take alot more than an admission of error in an academic-style article to efface all those deaths -- to heal the wound of the American war: " Here's the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. oh! oh!"
