Victor Davis Hanson is a professor of classical history with a special interest in Warfare and Agriculture ( BIO: http://victorhanson.com/Author/index.html ). After 9/11 his powerful articles caught our attention here on FR for clarity and superb analysis of war on terror. He runs his website (http://victorhanson.com/index.html ) for the last half year (?) where he also answers questions of readers (some Q&As were posted in this post).

If you've never read his articles and want to form your opinion, here are the sources:

His NRO archive: http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson-archive.asp (the fall of 2001 articles are especially telling)

Bush Administration opinion as glanced from another article about VDH; they like him maybe as much as we do: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1085464/posts?page=6#6

About Hittite language, you look like right http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittite_language that its Indo-European language not Semitic. So, nobody is perfect, I guess...

Semitic people and their language akin to Hittite.

I don't think that Hanson called the language Semitic. Could a people Semitic in ethnic origin speak an Indo-European language?
