An irony of history, in the positive sense, is when Republicans are willing to risk a dangerous confrontation with an untenable and indefensible status quo.

Make no mistake, the leftiest Hitchens is being entirly consistant by supporting the President.

Bush's war vision is as liberal and idealistic a policy that any American administration has ever pursued. History has truly been spun on it's ear.

Hitch is an old school leftist. He's also a disillusioned curmudgeon. But he's not renounced either description--he grabs both and squeezes. I like his honesty, but he's not wrong often (except for that political bent) and you're not wrong here. Thanks for spoiling it for the koolaid drinkers.
