HITCH WATCH: He has an op-ed in the WaPo. Not much new ground broken, but this will probably have a bigger audience than, say, Vanity Fair, the only other place he writes for regularly. But, then again, I think he breaks a bit of new ground here:
"Now, however, the same people are all frenzied about an American-led "attack on the Muslim world." Are the Kurds not Muslims? Is the new Afghan government not Muslim? Will not the next Iraqi government be Muslim also? This meaningless demagogy among the peaceniks can only be explained by a masochistic refusal to admit that our own civil society has any merit, or by a nostalgia for Stalinism that I can sometimes actually taste as well as smell."
The upshot being that many leftists either hate the U.S. irrationally, love terror (in the worst possible sense), or are actually too ignorant to be capable of either-- which may be the worst possibility of all.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
