Many gems in this column, solid exposition and Hitch again redeems himself when he's off his atheism bender.
Read the whole column, it's a proper Hitchean tribute to India and to freedom.

So, should we still sell arms to Pakistan?

I like ol’ Hitch. He’s the only atheist I will allow to play ‘devil’s advocate’.
Good article.

Hitchens is a great writer but I marked him off my list when he came out for Obama.

Hitchens can shove it.
He campaigned for, and said he voted for Hussein.
An anti-American, radical, terrorist sympathizer, and racist.

I always wanted Hitchens to debate Cristianne Amanpour to see who sounded more English elite.
But I digress...

I am not alone in finding the statements about Bombay from our politicians to be anemic and insipid
Get use to it, Drunkard.
You and your pansies voted out the last real men in Washington because "Change" is "en vogue"

Anyone who hated Mother Teresa (because she totally embraced Life) so much he actually wrote a entire book trashing her...is too mentally unstable to pay attention to.

I believe that Hitchens was the role model for the drunken whore journalist( I know , I know, both terms imply the other when describing a journalist) played by Bruce Willis in Bonfire of the Vanities. If he wasn’t, he should have been.

Is Hitchins suggesting stronger rhetoric in "denouncing" Muslim terror? Just what does he expect??
That's rich given Hitchin's support of 0bama (who lukewarmly "denounced" Rev. Wright) while remaining strangely silent on ZERO's support of a murderous Kenyan government.
Maybe Hitchins can row his hypocrital @ss to Kenya and put his money where his mouth is.

Wish this had been a 'bit longer'! That said; good to know we can still call 'Bombay'. . .Bombay. That such a beautiful name; an historic name, could be buried and this city renamed is a travesty onto itself.
We keep hearing that this is another 'wake-up call'. . .clearly it cannot be heard if one's head is buried in the sand. Simple truths are not elusive; they just seem that way; when we refuse to face them.

Screw Hitchens, he's a coward socialist who votes for socialists. You can get the measure of the man by reading the same swill he wrote about Iraq and then he went and voted for OBama who would have turned Iraq over to the deadenders and jihadists 3 years ago.
He's a slovenly drunk and that's the likable part of him..
