Christopher Hitchens at Mario Savio Memorial lecture part 5

[MattSingh1]

25:40 "I mean, are you asking me, are you seriously asking me specifically 'is it worth, not just fighting for oil, a war, but fighting a war in which people will be killed’"

Ironically, the questioner just got figuratively killed.

[MattSingh1]

"...you've already been enlisted sweetie, by being a civilian". The final knockout blow. Another Hitch victory.

I think Hitchens did a very good job and I agree with him on nearly everything, but I think he would at least concede that there must be a strategy other than "we'll be greeted as liberators." The Iraq war has been such a debacle and been run by bafoons and criminal profiteers--those are the facts of the matter.

I want to hear good questions posed to Hitchens that are less antagonistic. A real discussion on how this war should have proceeded or been planned

[MattSingh1]

@albiz007 I suggest you watch Christopher's debate with Andrew Arato, in regards to the greeting US and coalition received upon their arrival in Iraq.

I think the guy around 13 min is the famed "fascist crackpot" from another famous video haha

[SunriseInTheMidwest]

DAMN!!! He got that guy at about 13 min in.

I'm in favor of gay marriage, a woman's right to chose, democratization of health care, etc...

but dear god, this audience is comprised of the biggest group of liberal, self-loathing pussies to ever grace the earth.

[Alexdurrant7]

@braydenbeautiful Self-loathing? They were criticising the US, mostly, not themselves.

[Pezzab5]

Lovely the way he gave that questioner the two fingers. BAMF!
