Chrissie Missed China as the Looming Dragon over Pakistan
Htichens literally missed the colossal dragon in the shadow- he's too busy slinging pig dung at anything with 's-l-m' in it. America is courting Pakistan because China has been moving to develop her into its bridge to the Gulf. The Gwadar port, which China built in Pakistan's southwest Balochistan province, is designed with deep water port ...

Will Hitchens Support the Culling of Camels?
Before returning to his usual mantras favoring the war on Terror/Islam, Hitchens condemned the Egyptian cull of its domestic pig population and lamented that pigs are noble creatures (his effort to pit Western civilization against Islamic civilization, I suppose). http://www.slate.com/id/2229830/ But now Alice Springs in the Northern ...

Majr Hasan, the Man, Cause the Ft Hood Shootings
Maj Hasan, the 39 year old doctor with no social life, no wife, few friends, removed from his hometown against his will, chose by his freewill to engage in mass murder and apparently found some person on earth to justify his inclination (except the Washington Post has not produced the emails demostrating al Awlaki's complicity, even FBI and DOD ...

Wait a year, Hitchens will change his mind
Hitchens thought people who believed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were guerilla wars were masochists and apologists. Now the counter-insurgency supporting masochists have done more for Iraq and Afghanistan than Hitchens ever did in years as a Bush Administration fluff boy. Now Hitchens takes credit for their successes. So, when the mood ...

Re: Nidal Hassan Motivated By Islam? Groundbreaking!
Clarity of thought is groundbreaking. Not tongue in cheek as the bournite posts, but ground breaking words by Hitchens because of decades of censorship of real Atheist insight. If Atheists write it, it must be wrong according to religious ...

1989
What is missing, in terms of necessary differentiation - from this review and from Mr. Hitchens commentary is as simple as their binary analysis is: Yes, the people of The Democratic Republic of Germany wanted to oust their government and wanted a different experiment than that which the SED was attempting. But does that mean they wanted to be ...

Re: Real Debate
Your comment conflates 'religion' w/ 'culture.' Not all cultures are religious, or ''clothed in allegories and myths'' that people treat as non-fiction. Examples of non-religious cultures: secular Judaism; the culture of any secular institution (e.g. your local public university, Google). Non-religious cultures may include myths, but the myths ...

Has Hitchens Actually Ever Said Anything Right?
The man thought Iraq would be a cakewalk and the US would not face an insurgency, there would be minimal civilian casualties among Iraqi and Afghani populations, Petraeus' surge strategy was too little & too late, and that John Edwards was the only one in the Presidential race with any integrity. Hitchens also said that anyone who referred to ...

Bombing Iran
Christopher Hitchens is stuck in 1990's. He thinks airstrikes with zero troops on the ground will solve the Iran crisis. He also thought Afghanistan was won, Iraq would be a cake walk, the surge strategy wouldn't work, the enemies in Iraq were not ''guerillas'' or ''insurgents,'' and John Edwards was a man of integrity. Great job, Chris!
