A Severe Case of the Emperor's New Clothes

I've posted my opinion on the Israel-Lebanon fiasco already (several times). In short, I subscribe to the Juan Cole opinion that there is clear evidence that both sides committed war crimes. So today Ignatieff is in trouble for saying so?! I was more upset with his "not losing sleep" comment personally.

As for the Liberal leadership race, I don't really have a dog in that fight, as the saying goes. I do have reservations about Iggy (I think there's no question that he would have put us in Iraq had he been at the helm in 2003), but this is one of the more sensible things that he has said. Dropping cluster bombs on civilians is a war crime! The emperor has no clothes!
