Re: Hitchens support of the war. This is a bit of revisionist history. Hitchens first Nation column post-9/11 was a smarmy you-had-it-coming screed; when he realized that wasn't going to over well, he suddenly changed his tune, and people have let him get away with it. In any case, Hitchens position on any given issue is always about one thing-his moral superiority to everybody else alive. He's a fraud and a disgrace, and the Nation does itself no favor by continuing to run his drivel.
