I'm quite familiar with Hitchens, and my comment wasn't meant as a reflection on his courage or lack of same, but as a criticism of his excessive fanaticism. He can't overthrow every tyrant on earth alone, so someone's going to have to fight most of those battles in his place, probably despite not sharing his sense of threat or necessity. But in the end, no country is liberated unless its people do it themselves. Otherwise they only get scraps of paper with "a stroke of the pen" on them declaring them free, for what that's worth.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-41523754760906310552009-01-20T08:22:00.000-05:002009-01-20T08:22:00.000-05:00For who's freedom?

He walked the walk and fought with the peshmerga against Saddam Hussein. He put his own life at risk after the American bombers went home in the First Gulf War. He fought for freedom with sweat and a gun, let him like a man who did the same with a stroke of the pen.Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892748627168218304noreply@blogger.com
