Where does Iggy stand on the Political Spectrum ? Centre ? Extreme Right ? Is he an American Hawk ?

On the Political Spectrum is Michael Ignatieff further to the right than Stephen Harper ?

Is he a true American Hawk ?

Since his election to Parliament, Ignatieff has been one of the few opposition members supporting the minority Conservative government's commitment to Canadian military activity in Afghanistan.

He argued that the Afghanistan mission tests the success of Canada's shift from "the peacekeeping paradigm to the peace-enforcement paradigm," ??????

Following the vote, Harper shook Ignatieff's hand.

Peace-Enforcement ? Really ? Tell me Mr. Ignatieff, Mr Harper, how do these two terms work together ? Peace means sitting down with people and working to come to a peaceful solution. Not dropping bombs and killing innocent people.

Quote:
Supporting the war in Iraq was a mistake, Liberal MP Michael Ignatieff has written in an article for the New York Times Magazine : "The unfolding catastrophe in Iraq has condemned the political judgment of a president," Ignatieff writes in a reference to 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.
