Hitchens has to empower the globalists to fight his endless and futile utopian war to "reform" Islam.

Apparently so. Considering Hitchen's opinions of Falwell, Robertson, Mother Teresa, Sharon, Netanyahu, Peres, in addition to Arafat, Hussein, and Bin Laden, he seems to hope the same powers will be brought to bear on fundamentalist Christianity and Judaism as well.

Hitchens has a good grasp on who the bastards are, but has a curiously great difficulty in identifying heroes.

Hitchens' religion is socialism.

Very good point. I rather like Hitchens but he is at his best when he writes in the style of a jaded Menckenite iconoclast rather than as a clean-shaven, white-collared crusader for "reform."
