Michael Ignatieff says about Iraq "My bad"

Michael Ignatieff is an intriguing character. A longtime Harvard professor, he recently came back to Canada, ran for the Liberal Party leadership, and is a Liberal MP in Parliament.

Yet, he has been very pro-Iraq-war, a position inconsistent with Canada (even Conservative PM Stephen Harper won't send troops to Iraq) and the Liberal Party.

Now in The New York Times, Ignatieff apologizes but not in a way where he seems very credible. This synopsis gives you a better flavor (the link is a solid analysis, but has a naughty word in the title. Canadians are much less hung up on language as opposed to the U.S.).

The comments below the piece are also well worth reading.
