the murder of a million of ones own citizens is terrorism. the comparison of tyrants like saddam and the taliban to the nation which liberated the respective peoples of these oppressive governments is lunacy.

We atheists have our opiates: Goethe, Joyce and Dostoevsky

[pppaaaooo13]

Hitchens supported Iraq war and suddenly atheists supported iraq war.Without thinking. Just because Hitchens said it.Sorry you are wrong

[MrTexasArcane]

The global town drunk/zionist neocon ass puppet has gone room temperature and I noticed the birds were singing, the sky was bluer and the air smelled better. Poor old faggot sucked one too many cocks in his life and got throat cancer. A perfect ending for a man who spent 62 years talking crap. Hitchens is moving into worm farming in his retirement and will soon be driving demons up the wall in hell complaining about his conditions. He's a good quisling now.

@blueshade26 so your potin is ''you cant support a war unless your out there fighting'' sounds a little silly.

lol +1 for "fatuous babble"

[disdanic]

@blueshade26 Your fatuous babble fails entirely based on one false assumption: "Hitchen's view that we should proactively destroy the middle east in order to somehow eliminate its religion." It is like Tea Partyers who start off their discourse with, "Obama's plan to turn America into a socialist state modelled roughly on a combination of the Soviet Union and the Third Reich". Neither you know Tea Party fanatics have any grounding in reality.

To hell with the us troops....do everything you can to oppose these clowns who cheat on their families at home and abroad....bullying those who can't defend themselves....disparage them in every possible way...dispel the myth that they're defending anybody... they can't even defend they're own family...on the contrary they abuse and hurt those they claim to care about...now give these sad sack losers their own medicine once and for all.

[chubbywater3]

Ding dong the Hitch is dead....

[blueshade26]

Hitchen's view that we should proactively destroy the middle east in order to somehow eliminate its religion is hypocritcal as it's coming from a guy who would rather kick back at his mansion watching reports on his hdtv of the deaths of american soliders in iraq rather than go fight himself.

i don't know what pathology courses through hitchen's veins that makes him believe a negative one factor explanation (get rid of religion) can fix everything, but it doesn't convince me.

@zygotepeyote hes not a stereotypical drunk. He's the only man who can debate and win against a tough topic that requires a lot of thinking and logic. Some people have it (like hitchens) and some don't (most ppl w/ are drunk).
