@megalman1 "He takes a realistic approach to foreign policy, based on fact and real world experience. " CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS???? THIS MAN? This man who enthusiastically supported the American-led war in Iraq? The same war which was trumped up on dubious charges? This man, who remained unapologetic about the war even after its colossal failure could no longer be denied? This man, who “attacked” Kissinger, but was just as big of a warmonger? That impresses you? Cool.....

@modularmaster I have to draw public attention to your stupidity, for your benefit as much as my satisfaction. Did you actually listen to this interview? Hitchens himself denies any ambition to take Orwell's mantle.
Secondly, you haven't read Hitchens - no-one who does can fail to be impressed with his clarity of mind and literary ability. Unless of course they are themselves less than literate.

@NorthNorth2009 yeah, that must be it, you've figured him out, you've solved the world riddle.

@megalman1 A realistic approach to foreign policy is not perpetual warfare that is funded by the Federal Reserve and China.

Hitchens is not even remotely aligned with neocons. The problem with political discourse in the US is solidified in your statement.
There is no left or the right, just different arms of the same machine. Hitchens doesn't play to those games. He takes a realistic approach to foreign policy, based on fact and real world experience. He has been on the ground and witness and analyzed a lot of the world, and as such can make remarkably honest indictments of its realities.
That impresses me.
