Yo! Hitch! You backed ‘Zero’bama. STFU!
Well, Hitchens is a socialist. Just because he agrees with some of the WOT stuff and is willing to criticize people on the left we should not assume he is a proud member of the GOP.
Hitchens is smart and generally a person whose only allegiance is to himself and his reputation as a fearless commentator. I don't want to only read people who feed my confirmation bias. I love Hitchens and Paglia because both are original thinkers. I think Hitchens makes some solid points re; India and Pakistan and this essay provides some excellent insight from a man who knows a bit about both countries.
