| | Hitchens might want to insist, contrarily, that although he has changed his allies, he has not changed his opinions. | | | But although his prose has retained its poise since 9/11, his thinking has not. | | | Hitchens replied furiously—though not, by and large, to these arguments; rather, to other ones, either nonexistent or easier to refute: for example, opposition “in principle in any case to any intervention,” and insistence that in view of its imperialist past the United States could never in any circumstances be a force for good. |

| | During impeachment hearings, he provided Senate investigators with an affidavit swearing that White House aide Sidney Blumenthal (formerly a close friend) told him Monica Lewinsky was a "stalker," contradicting Blumenthal's sworn testimony. | | | Many will argue it was unnecessary for Hitchens to leave the left, that the left had already left him thanks to his unrelenting attacks on Clinton and his support for impeachment. | | | The old political conflicts -- and the old paradigm of opposition -- are largely fading, and they've been replaced by a global conflict of theocratic states or movements against secular states. |

| | Christopher Hitchens' last battle Salon.com |
| | The U.S. Congress did not even have the moral fortitude to declare war. | | | In essence, Hitchens is arguing for the legitimacy of a sort of hyperpower vigilantism, in which the sitting president of the United States decides which regimes may continue to exist, virtually by himself. | | | I have read Hitchens for decades and usually admire his acute wit, his command of detail, his polemical gifts, and his contrarian sense of ethics, even when we disagree. |

| | Bush's secularist triumph. By Christopher Hitchens |
| | In this, I find him to be as polarizing and dangerous (though more articulate) a figure as Michael Moore. | | | Insofar as Hitchens lumped me by association with the anti-war — and in his view, obviously pusillanimous — left, I do take objection. | | | What matters is that he's misrepresenting the view of a very large part of the Democratic party, and, in doing so, making it seem as if only George Bush and his posse can protect American and the world. |

| | Hitchens is a paid provocateur who has trouble, from time to time, governing his tongue and his pen. | | | Hitchens caused a stir a while back when he came out in support of the Bush administration’s war on terror, leaving his long-time leftist allies angry and bemused, or some combination of both. | | | Bear in mind, of course, that for Hitchens this is a war against religious fanaticism, which partially explains his enthusiastic reaction. |
