Hitchens on single standards

[ChrisD(RJ)]

So, you'd rather see millions starve under the Taliban, which was quite
possible, than having that famine averted, as Oxfam reported in January?
You'd rather watch half of Afghanistan's population be turned into slaves
and executed in soccer stadiums? Hell, even RAWA conceded in its recent
statement that there's more room now for their efforts than under the
"wolves" of the Taliban. Do you really believe it would have benefited the
people of Afghanistan if we had done nothing?

I suspect that decreasing famine in Afgh. is in part brought about through
the post-Talin resussitation of the basis of the Afghan economy, which is
heroin.
