Well, if only to be a contrarian today, it isn't hard to find speeches by the Liberals in the lead up to the gulf war. For this group of people hard on the heels of 9/11, to have maintained their Liberalism held before 9/11 was to risk charges of treason, or worse for academics, risk their income earned by giving speeches.
___I say that giving Mr. Ignatieff the benefit of any doubt as to his political orientation in those pre-Afghanistan/Iraq war speeches. Otherwise the only definer that fits would be that he was a neo-con. And we can't have that now can we?
