Many conservatives like Hitchens manner -- he is fun to watch. But, never forget that Hitchens is a committed leftist.

The problem with the so-called International court is that it will be used by the leftist who control the international stage (the UN) to harass and harm those in the US who formulate and carry out US policy with which the leftists disagree.

Sadly, American leftists and the leftist American media will cheer all the while. The Interantional Court is a terrible development and its "justice" will soon resemble the "justice" of the French Revolution. Americans beware.

Let us oppose it forcefully.

I disagree with the whole concept of the international court, and realize that it will be used by embittered leftists who want to embarrass our country.

But I do agree with Hitchens that Kissinger was a total scumbag. His solutions for dealing with Henry are a recipe for disaster, however. The best course for dealing with Kissinger is to expose his crimes and just let him die in disgrace.

You're correct, wolf. The dedicated socialist, Hitchens, is the darling of many conservatives including a lot of freepers.

Maybe it's because of the "naughty-boy" appeal of his slobbiness, his boyish but decadent air, his dirty toenails, his hint of roguishness, his charming British accent, his elfish anti-establishment stance (while he benefits hugely from our capitalistic system), and the apparently riveting-to-some "Joe Sixpack" love of fermented grain.

But he still is the antithesis of the basic principles of what our American society is or should be. I do admire him for the fact that he knows how to milk his considerable grungy personal assets.

P.T. Barnum was right.
