“Anti-War, My Foot”

Love that title. On a previous post, I asked, “Who is Christopher Hitchens?” and the more I read him the more I love him. What’s particularly great is that he is a long-time, studied liberal. Or, he was until the last few years, while American liberalism has become an intellectual hollow stump.

Key quote from Anti-War, My Foot:

It is really a disgrace that the liberal press refers to such enemies of liberalism as “antiwar” when in reality they are straight-out pro-war, but on the other side. Was there a single placard saying, “No to Jihad”? Of course not. Or a single placard saying, “Yes to Kurdish self-determination” or “We support Afghan women’s struggle”? Don’t make me laugh.

Give it a read here.
