From one-dimensional "policy wonk" to "Niccolo Machiavelli" in 100 days.

the 'evil conservative' shows respect across party lines
Ignatieff, the direct descendent of high ranking functionaries in the governments of the last two Russian Czars, is an interesting, very intelligent writer, not a typical pansy liberal by any means, at least not in matters military or in foreign relations. He was a heavyweight liberal supporter of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He's written from an American point of view very often, so I'm amazed that he holds office in Canada, and that he's a Canadian citizen. He taught at Harvard. I assumed he was American.
Ignatieff is Canada's Kim Beazley.
