Why Bosnia Matters 4 - Christopher Hitchens

Here Christopher Hitchens lectures on the failure of the international community to deal with the Bosnian crisis. It should be noted that this speech was given on Mar 4 1994, while the Bosnian war was still going on, and more than a year before the Srebrenica massacre.

Hitchens' position on the matter is clear the international community (e.g. UN, NATO, and US forces) should use military force to intervene in the region and prevent genocide. Eventually there was an intervention, but not until aproximately 200,000 were killed.

I have set this speech to vaguely relevant images.

"You can't have a war without war crimes, and war IS a crime...fascism is when you get both."

Some of Hitchens' other defs. of fascism - I love em

"Blood myths, race fantasies, ancient superstitions, and cheap religion...combined with modern technology."

"An alliance between the oligarchy and the lumpen. You couldn't have it better than the Saudi sponsorship of madrassas."

"The most retrograde people using the most revolutionary rhetoric."

Please visit my channel for the unpopular truth about homosexuality.

A person does not need hatred or any kind of phobia in order to acknowledge important differences between heterosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption and homosexual attraction / behavior / marriage / adoption. Even non-religious people know this.

Homosexual activists, with support from the media, have succeeded at framing themselves as noble victims; it's an effective way to push a social agenda.
