Is "The Hitch" actually interesting? I only know three things about him, one that he was an Atheist, two he supported Iraq, and three he's dead now. |

Edvard_Munch_-_Jealousy_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg Expressing your opinion on polarising subjects will polarise people's opinions of you. Because Hitchens was such a good writer he attracted criticism from people who disagree with him (and that's ok). |

I was at the library today and spotted Hitch-22. You might be better off reading his life in the man's own words, OP. |

I think it's absurd to suggest that Hitch's stance on the invasion of Iraq was based on anything but the principled belief that it was right to depose a dictator. When he suggested that waterboarding wasn't torture and was challenged on that opinion, he went out and got himself waterboarded and immediately changed his mind. Those aren't the actions of a demagogue, they are the actions of a principled man who wants above all else to find better answers to difficult questions. I marched against the war, but I totally respect Hitch's opinion on the matter and how he advanced the debate. He wasn't a neocon stooge, he was a really smart guy who didn't follow the winds of public opinion but reasoned out his beliefs. If only we had more men like him, the world would be an immeasurably better place. |
