Hitchens on Khalidi

More specifically, on John McCain's attempt to use Rashid Khalidi as a way to smear Obama. Love Hitch or not, this is awesome.

In my dreams, every wingnut blogger on the Web would be required to type out this column in full ten times before being allowed to post again.

Nice. Hitch always manages to say enough of the right things to keep me in his corner - though we disagree on much.

What do you disagree with Hitch on? For me, his attitude towards Iraq is certainly a problem, but I can't think of any other topic offhand.

The Iraq "problem" is symptomatic of his hawkish views on how to deal with our problems. Look, I know we have to use violence against violent people. But it's outrageous to me that, to this day, he still proclaims that going into Iraq was the right thing to do.

Yeah. He scares me, because he seems to know a lot more about the world than I do. Still, though, I don't think we're out of options yet.
