Mr. Hitchens:

I live in Falls Church, but haven't looked you up in the phone book because you probably get enough pests as it is. But I have been searching (in vain) for your email address so I can relay several things to you (including an "It's on Me" card from Johnnie Walker Black, which is my favorite drink as well).

But enough. If Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali will soon be denied protection, and if the wheels of the Dutch as well as the US government cannot turn fast enough to provide it for her, I suggest we start a fund, pronto, to start ponying up ourselves.

I am too old and fat and nearsighted to go fighting in Iraq, but this is one way I can contribute to the war against religious terrorism.

Let's get started. So...who do I send my contribution to?
