Jeez, Christopher Hitchens is having a good war. He's wielding his robust liberalism like a battle axe, and enjoying every moment. "I should perhaps confess that on September 11 last, once I had experienced all the usual mammalian gamut of emotions, from rage to nausea, I also discovered that another sensation was contending for mastery. On examination, and to my own surprise and pleasure, it turned out be exhilaration. Here was the most frightful enemy--theocratic barbarism--in plain view. Other and better people were gloomy at the prospect of confrontation. But I realized that if the battle went on until the last day of my life, I would never get bored in prosecuting it to the utmost." Take that, all you hypocrites and parasites of western liberalism, who would take from a system that you would never defend, take that.
