Re: Christopher Hitchens
I haven't read his work I've only seen him on TV so I could be wrong.
I always saw his Iraq stance as being the liberal pre-9/11 foriegn policy stance. Namely, conservatives were isolationists and liberals wanted to send troops and money all over the world to fix things. That was certainly the character of the 2000 presidential race. Then after 9/11 liberals switched sides for what appeared to be no other reason then they didn't want to agree with Bush even though it was thier posistion. IMHO Hitchens actually stayed steadfast to his pre-9/11 idealism.
