I thought it was neat that this was thought to be lost and now is found and shared. I'm only a few minutes in but looking forward to finishing when I take the dog for a walk later

Edit

Gatdammit can I get a mod to fix the typo in the title please? Thanks.

Hitchens had a mastery of the English language that could bathe you in a warm glow of poetry, or give you a complete verbal smackdown. It was a very impressive skill.
 
Proof (if any more were needed) that god doesn't exist, is that Christopher Hitchens has been dead 10 years, and Peter Hitchens is still healthy as an ox.
 
It was really nice to be able to listen to something new from Hitchens, even if it was largely a recap of the greatest hits. Part of the sadness of him being gone is never getting to hear his thoughts on current world events. It's like he said about death, it's not that the party is over, the party keeps going it's just that he had to leave. I miss him.
 
It's been 10 years already since he died? Time flies...
Hitchens and Dawkins were intellectual beacons during my youth. It is just so sad that we lost Hitch so early. He would have been a greatly needed and specially relevant thinker this past decade.

True. What I'd like to ask him the most is if he thinks the hawkish foreign policy he supported to try to liberalize and democratize the Middle East was worth it in the end.

For sure. He made a compelling case against Saddam and for helping the Kurdish people, but the results of world policing compared to cost of lives and dollars seem pretty underwhelming.
