It seems to me that if Hitchens were wearing a Burkha and reciting the Koran whilst simultaneously giving Osama Bin-Laden a rim job and a reach-around you guys would still never forgive him. Week after week we hear the same old canard about the Iraq war and how he was in cahoots with that retarded administration. The guy is standing up to evil. He doesn't care which colour stripe it likes to sport on its epaulettes. If some of you prefer to do the flying camel and figure that your brand of facism is better than someone else's, well, so be it. At least Hitchens is there to remind us of our folly.

Agreed. I'd like to see the defenders of Sadam enumerate their points as to why Sadam should have been left in power.
