Christopher Hitchens is an unrepentant Commie (of the Trotskyite variety), who spent the '80s attacking Ronald Reagan and defending the Soviet Union. He has never apologized for this, and his views have remained consistent, hostility to religion (especially Roman Catholicism) being an integral part of the Communist world view.

Of course, his hatred for Roman Catholicism is deep. Not only does it come out all the time, it comes out is way that would be deeply embarrassing to normal human beings, such as his drunken tirade against Mother Teresa during ABC's televised coverage of her funeral and the two vicious columns he wrote attacking John Paul II--on the occasion of his death.

His support for the so-called War on Terror is of a piece. As a Trotskyite, Hitchens has always supported "world revolution," and that's what he sees in our current neocon foreign policy, as interviews he has given to leftist reporters make clear. He hates the Islamists not because they are terrorists--Commies have always been terrorists--but because they believe in God, after a fashion. He'd just as soon be lobbing cruise missiles into St. Peter's as bombing the Taliban. (He probably also harbors some resentment of the Islamists for the role they played in driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan, just as he clearly resented the role John Paul II played in bringing down the Soviet Empire).

Hitchens' entire world view is based on his hatred of religion and tradtion. An absolutely disgusting human being.

As someone who was involved in Trotskyite Communist agitation, Hitchens should be deported. There are plenty perverts and cover-ups of their antics in Britain to keep Hitchens occupied for the rest of his silly life.
