George F. Will (born 1941) is a popular, Pulitzer prize winning columnist and author. His writings appear in Newsweek and the Washington Post.

Poltical Views

Though he claims to be a conservative, Will holds some conservative and some liberal views. With regards to foreign policy, Will has proposed that the United States should withdraw all troops from Afghanistan[1] and defended Barack Obama's response to the uprisings after the 2009 elections in Iran.[2] He also criticized the Bush administration for engaging in warrantless surveillance[3] and supported trials for detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp. On abortion, Will believes that the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision was unconstitutional, but thinks that the issue is unimportant, overall.[4] He is also against the death penalty.[5] He does, however hold the conservative views that tighter border security and a "path to citizenship" is best for illegal immigrants,[6] and that gun ownership is a constitutional right.[7]

He also describes himself as "agnostic", claiming he was "not decisive enough [to be an atheist]."[8]
