  • Hitchens wants change. Tharoor wants to preserve the current (horrible) conditions. I am Indian, but I do think Tharoor is an idiot.

  • The UN's measure of success is having a bunch of Nobel Prizes on the wall.

    Says it all.

  • This dialogue highlights the abject failure of the UN, toleration of abuse in not viable.

  • @kixmet I disagree. Saying Hitchens is on the side of any religious group is just asinine. Hitchens would argue that Buddhism tends to be culturally derived institutions of Buddhism which have fallen prey to a totalitarian state or a feudal system.

  • Such an important line @ 2:11- "Don't want intellectuals in my country make excuses for this. That would be a start"

  • a christopher hitchens should be born in every age and era.

  • @damaxman me too.

  • I LOVE IT! HITCHENS LIGHTS A CIGGIE!

  • intelligence in a stupid society...❤PΞДCΞ & Ŀ☼√Ξ ☆☆☆☆☆❤

  • Hitchens like Wagner makes prejudice look classy. He was on the same side of the Christian Right/Neo-Cons when it came to the Iraq war. Buddhists are atheists too but they do not belong to Christopher's cult so he demonizes them too.
