	James Laxer: The Invention of Michael Ignatieff
		Michael Ignatieff, on the other hand, is a liberal intellectual whose chief claim to fame is that he was swept off his feet in support of George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq.
		If Michael Ignatieff is the new Trudeau, presumably he is the man to take on the job of reconstructing federalism and winning a new generation of Quebecers to the cause of Canada.
		Ignatieff has jeopardized his record with his jingoistic support for the Bush, and he is not near as shrewd as Trudeau on the question of Canadian nationalism.

	News and Views \| Telling true lies about Michael Ignatieff \| Straight.com
		And that is the way Michael Ignatieff, a Booker-shortlisted novelist and a scion of Russian aristocracy, has come home after being away for nearly 30 years, most of that spent in the U.K. He returned only last year, and he arrived as fearlessly as an honoured son who enters his father's house.
		Ignatieff may very well appear to be a charming left-wing intellectual in an impeccably tailored blue-linen suit with a white shirt and pink silk tie.
		Ignatieff's closest rivals are Bob Rae—the former NDP premier of Ontario, who was Ignatieff's roommate during their student days at the University of Toronto—and Stéphane Dion, the seasoned Ottawa politician and former environment minister much beloved by Canada's environmentalists.

	Michael Ignatieff
		Michael Ignatieff was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on 12 May 1947, the son of a Russian émigré father and a Canadian mother.
		Michael Ignatieff is an extraordinarily versatile writer, both in terms of the kind of writing he does well and the subjects he writes about.
		Ignatieff's work on Berlin began with a single interview Ignatieff carried out with him in the summer of 1987, and grew to a full ten years of talking; Berlin was quite a talker, and Ignatieff's vivid presentation of him as such is one of the triumphs of the book.

	The Chronicle: 3/8/2002: From Tragedy and Bloodshed, Michael Ignatieff Draws Human-Rights Ideals
		Ignatieff, in contrast, sees it as a form of political struggle, one that squarely confronts the often thorny and complicated entanglements that arise in the attempt to balance state sovereignty with the rights of individuals in those states.
		Ignatieff's contributions to the field are marked by his simultaneous "ability to draw from expansive practical experience and to home in on the most important issues in human rights." Mr.
		Ignatieff has a tendency to be "oblivious to the dangers and excesses" of American power and expresses insufficient concern about the inhibitions of international law and morality on the use of that power.

	Reihan Salam on Michael Ignatieff & American Empire on National Review Online
		In all fairness, Ignatieff has been engaged with the new imperialism from the frontlines; if anyone's qualified to offer impressionistic meditations, he is. His book on the Kosovo campaign, Virtual War, is indispensable, as is the more-recent Human Rights as Politics and Idolatry, a short, dense work on the meaning of human rights.
		It is, as the title of Ignatieff's article suggests, a burden, and one not to be taken lightly.
		Ignatieff's blueprint closely resembles a proposal put forth by Hussein Agha and Robert Malley in 2002, and it happens to be what pro-Arafat Left-wingers have been advocating since long before Oslo.

	Metroactive Books \| Michael Ignatieff
		Michael Ignatieff, son of a Canadian diplomat who had served in Belgrade in the late 1950s, supported the NATO military intervention against his former home, but in a clear-eyed and coldly analytical way.
		Ignatieff dubs the NATO air campaign in Kosovo as the first of what he fears may be many "virtual wars": the West, and particularly the U.S., has the technological edge to conduct military operations devoid of casualties, without deploying ground troops.
		Ignatieff points out that another virtual war is being fought in slow motion today by the U.S. and British air forces in Iraq, where about as much explosive tonnage has fallen since 1998 as was used against Yugoslavia in 1999.

		Ignatieff calls for — far from it — but he takes pains to dispel illusions that the Western democracies can keep their hands clean of war and intrigue when fighting terror.
		Ignatieff writes, "but only against bona fide terrorist targets actively engaged in hostilities against a democratic state," as a last resort against impending attacks, and with due regard for the innocent.
		Ignatieff argues, but could be justified if a government or terrorist group were to seek to acquire or use nuclear weaponry, and if a handful of other last-resort and reasonable-means criteria were met.

	Ignatieff, M.: The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics in an Age of Terror. (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Michael Ignatieff confronts this challenge head-on, with the combination of hard-headed idealism, historical sensitivity, and political judgment that has made him one of the most influential voices in international affairs today.
		Ignatieff argues that we must not shrink from the use of violence--that far from undermining liberal democracy, force can be necessary for its survival.
		In making this case, Ignatieff traces the modern history of terrorism and counter-terrorism, from the nihilists of Czarist Russia and the militias of Weimar Germany to the IRA and the unprecedented menace of Al Qaeda, with its suicidal agents bent on mass destruction.

		Ignatieff visits 'trouble spots' and tells it like it is. His authority is the authority of the 'bulky American in combat camouflage, multi-pocket waistcoat, wraparound sunglasses and floppy fishing hat'(EL 77).
		Ignatieff thinks the imperialists can't be blamed as long as they sincerely try to build nations: their motives may be impure, but their objectives are on balance desirable.
		Ignatieff consistently forgets the real courage and intelligence of the natives who must be cured of their illusions, and always overestimates the courage and intelligence of the white folks.

		Michael Ignatieff: I’m obviously going to concentrate on the third of these themes, not to protect its citizens, not to carry on its traditions, but the question of to be a force for good and the theme of my talk is really that to be a force for good, you have to be powerful.
		Michael Ignatieff: I’m glad you raised that question, because it allows me to pretend to be an expert on the Cancun negotiations, and professors love to pretend to know more about something than they actually do.

	Kenan Malik's review of 'Isaiah Berlin' by Michael Ignatieff
		But while Ignatieff is not blind to the inconsistencies of Berlin's philosophy, his affection for the man, and empathy for his ideas, constrains his ability fully to explore its more problematic aspects.
		For Ignatieff, it is Berlin's acceptance of the conflicting nature of human desire that makes him a truly great and humane thinker.
		For both men the human condition is tragic in the sense that the achievement of one aim always entails a loss somewhere else.
