"Michael Ignatieff mentioned other...

...life-changing experiences. I wonder what they are. I think someone ought to ask.

One might be that amazing Stanley Cup win by the Vancouver Maple Leafs in 1981. I remember how everyone was cheering with a Molson's Blue in their hands.

RELATED: President McDreamy's morality tale...

It'd carry a little more weight... if it were actually true...
Churchill ordered the firebombing of Dresden just twelve weeks before the end of World War II. No one knows for sure how many civilians were burned alive, but tens of thousands surely were, in no small part to deliver a psychological blow to the Germans.

If Churchill could have waterboarded a prisoner to avoid that - or stop the Holocaust - would one shortcut have been preferable to the other?
