“Michael Ignatieff-led university (Central European University in Budapest) 'forced out' of Hungary
“U.S. billionaire George Soros has been in disagreement with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban”
I think it is likely more than just an issue of left versus Right.
Soros has been associated with some pretty questionable efforts abroad, NGOs that are something other than what they seem to be.
As far as Ignatieff goes, well, how the mighty are fallen, and it looks good on him.
And what an odd way he puts things, don't you think, “forced out of a NATO country”? What's that have to do with higher education?
Ignatieff was always kind of a crypto-Neocon back at Harvard, an often arrogant and ungracious man with pro-American empire thinking.
He should never have been asked to lead the Liberal Party in Canada, but as it did demonstrate his political and personal ineffectiveness to the world, it worked out okay.
