I've been waiting for Hitchens to give his 2 cents. He makes a pretty good point about the exiles too.

[PoisedWoman]

Excellent. One of the best, if not THE best, article on Saddam's capture. Hitchens gets straight to the point and stays there. Agood, incisive mind.

[ChadGore]

I have a new respect for Hitchens

[tet68]

A diet of fear is bad for the system and has pernicious long-term effects.

Hitch is good too.

[Tax-chick]

Good article. First the trial - if it's on C-Span, we'll get cable - and then turn him over to the Kurds. And then burn the bits and scatter the ashes.

Hitch is my favorite lefty. I guy I wouldn't mind meeting down at the pub every so often. (Wouldn't want his bar tab, though!)

>>...Try to imagine seeing his face on your front page every day for three decades, and hearing that voice and seeing that face every time you turned on the radio or TV...<<

Well, we got a taste of that with 8 years of Clinton.

[MattAMiller]

I was wondering what Hitchens would have to say. The following line bears repeating.

So here is a moment to salute those who refused and resisted.

GREAT!

Try to imagine seeing his face on your front page every day for three decades, and hearing that voice and seeing that face every time you turned on the radio or TV.

Are they talking about Clinton?

[duckln]

and I wanted everyone to get a long look at him, as they have been able to with Slobodan Milosevic

The two cases are opposites. Milosevic is showing in open court, at the Hague, that he was falsely indicted and proving it.

I wish Hitchens would elaberate on his hit and run of Milosevic.

Another good one by Christopher Hitchens.

So here is a moment to salute those who refused and resisted. Early reports of the tyrant's capture indicate Kurdish intelligence forces played a leading role in tracking Saddam down. I hope this is true, because there is natural justice as well as legal justice to be considered.

It doesn't matter if it's Tiennamen Square, Tibet, Chile, the Soviet Union, Germany, France, Denmark (when these latter three once produced a few courageous people), people that resist when the chances of success are minimal, in the short run, are worthy of boundless awe.

[doug from upland]

Well done, Chris. Very well done.

[SevenofNine]

Alright Chris YOU GO BOYYYYY

Chris is Lib but he is Common sense Lib in the UK paperss


He has good point about Saddam going fromn palace to RAT HOLE as rat he is

Rack Chris

[Fledermaus]

Try to imagine seeing his face on your front page every day for three decades, and hearing that voice and seeing that face every time you turned on the radio or TV.

Is he talking about Saddam or Bill Clinton?
