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 ...

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.

Great job, Chris!

Finally, Someone Fighting Back Against Apologists for War
This is the most important, relevant article that I’ve read in years. But you underestimate public revulsion as a driving force in exposing the deterministic ‘human nature’ apology for war. After centuries of state warfare and the orgy of death in the 20th century, Europe wants nothing to do with war and agression. The American public ...

Crazy? yes...
as crazy as going in there, with an undermanned force, in the first place. as crazy as not answering the 9/11 truth commission's questions more thoroughly. as crazy as not prosecuting bush and his cabal for war crimes, dereliction of duty and other offenses. as crazy as not regulating fox news or our financial institutions. we americans are ...
