    Christopher Hitchens was IMO one of the greatest orators of the 20th century.

    “Our responsibility is to hate our enemies, and to destroy them before they destroy us”

    He was referencing militant religions (or as he put it elsewhere, “people who actually believe the words in their Bronze Age religious texts”)

      He also supported the Iraq war. I’ve never understood why people try to canonize that neocon.
