Repost: Good Judgment Among Lunatic Literalists
August 13, 2007
If Canadian Tar Heel hasn't made a post about Michael Ignatieff's recent essay, I'm sure he will soon. For some time he has been referring to Ignatieff in political debates and looking to his ideals for answers to many of today's issues. After reading this essay — the first of Ignatieff's I've read — I can now see why he tends to "champion" some of Ignatieff's points of view in the political realm.
In Michael Ignatieff's essay, "Getting Iraq Wrong", he discusses his, as well as other politicians and commentators, failings on the Iraq situation. Ignatieff brings many theories about good judgement in both the political realm and private life, and how the 2 require a different set of principles, decision making tactics, and who their fallout affects more.
Good judgment means understanding how to be responsible to those who pay the price of your decisions.
Michael Ignatieff, "Getting Iraq Wrong"
If you haven't read it, it's well worth the read — a definite enlightenment to my narrow mind.
