...that´s very true...he seems to not be able or willing, any longer, to discuss Iraq...what Hitchens knows about scriptures, Chomsky matches with insightful political analysis of Iraq and much more, not jingoism

I can see why people develop suspicions regarding conspiracies, usually because their government is being so damn secretive or flat out lying and ALL their explanations are so patently absurd that not only are you driven to think for yourself, but you can´t help but think this isn´t just stupidity, or lying...it´s a conspiracy, it has to be.

They say there´s no fanantic like a convert...could it be that Hitchens feels he has to make good his move to America and his new American citizenship,so that in a way to avoid too much censure for being an atheist and critical of older regimes, like Nixon, Reagan and Clinton, he thinks to curry favor by supporting Bush as blindly as any silly Christian EVER believed in the bible?

It sounds silly as I say it, but I really don´t know how to reconcile Hitchens, the slayer of the Church, with Hitchens, the ass-kisser of Bush. Does this force those who are hostile towards him for his atheism cut him slack because he´s such a neo-con wannabe? Is it calculated...does he REALLY believe that there were WMDs...that we could trust our intelligence agencies...and our statesmen and generals...had he never heard of Vietnam?

Or is he so vile that he´ll take any excuse, any pretest, to make war on Darkies?

It´s a puzzle...but it´s a good thing our views coincide on religion because if they didn´t I would never trust his analytical ability or integrity if I knew his political views first..if I wasn´t already an atheist he could never convince me he was right about god.
