He's exceptionally talented.
I know someone who could debate him on Kissinger. It always comes down to principles, and yes, many of them were abandoned during the Cold War. We should learn from that. Pressure from Democrats and pacifists often dictate those mistakes. Also, our enemies are ruthless and sometimes our hands are forced in that respect. The fight begins at home and ends at home for moral superiority, but war is always hell. Hitch's attacks on Kissinger are basically incidents of fratricide and are worse than friendly fire. But you're right, the guy is handy to have on our side now.

And quite conflicted. I love the guy!
