As for my post legitimizing the entire thread do you mind clarifying that statement? I think people who've seen me discuss this issue in other threads kind know where I stand on this issue and it's pretty firmly in the camp that derides "progressives" for abandoning liberal values in an attempt to appear tolerant and not racist.

I don't agree with the first paragraph.
As I recall, Hitch supported the Iraq war as an aggressive regime change endorsed by the UN.
Hitchens, however, vehemently opposed the Afghanistan war and did not hold GWB or his administration in high regard.
As for the second paragraph, I plead ignorance of your stance and withdraw the slight. I think we're talking about Hitchens, and agree on the other.
