The Globe And Mail Article on Micheal Ignatieff reveals two things about his character which shows why it would not be good to have him as a PM. A one-time socialist, he sided with Thatcher during the Coal Miner's Strike. His reasoning? Coal mining was on its way out and the miners were on the wrong side of history. Such an attitude is indicative of moral weakness. Let's see, we sacrifice thousands of people for the sake of History. Where have we seen that before? Then in 2003 he supported the neocon attack on Iraq. This, in spite of the fact that everyone who knew anything about the Middle East opposed it. This in spite of the fact that the war was built upon obvious lies. Such willingness to dismiss the people who know something about a subject indicates incredible arrogance. His willingness to go along with a lie indicates moral weakness once more. We do not need the Ig. We already have an amoral individual in the PM”s chair.
