(Wotta wanker, were more proof needed.)  Ah yes, all those tiresome, 
humorless, pseudo-legalistically literal-minded types who insist that every 
bellum must have a casus.  Is Hitchens the last person left who can savor a 
good joke?  Until we stop bitching about the senselessness of the Iraq war 
and learn to treasure it for the laughs like Christopher the Clown, I fear 
it will be just so many thousands of lives and billions of dollars down a 
rathole.
