Above is a link to another very good clip by Christopher Hitchens in debate, when he is accused of supporting the United States' "crimes" in Iraq and elsewhere, while his opponent is basically saying the West is to blame for creating terrorists.
Hitch schools this poor bastard as usual, giving a razor sharp rebuttal on how this is absolutely untrue. He can be somewhat hard to follow at times because he's so hyper-articulate and intelligent, but the last few minutes are such and important and accurate reflection of my own thoughts on us in the West....and the people who seem to jump on the bandwagon against this.
Below is Hitch again in an interview, explaining why it was right to invade Iraq. There, of course, are many different sides to every story, but Christopher Hitchens seems to cover most of them....at the same time. :)
Get well.
