It’s The Hitch – ‘Nuff Said
Christopher Hitchens has an idea for a response to Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s letter, and it’s vintage Hitchens…so good I won’t excerpt it, but rather ask that you read it yourself. Oh, I can never resist at least one Hitchens excerpt, so here goes:
This is no longer a matter of “public diplomacy” or “image” or “making nice.” A wrecked Iran in one form or another is an immediate and urgent danger, and the pathetic religious demagogue at its merely titular summit is of no more significance than a false prophet screeching in a real wilderness. Almost everything that went wrong in Iraq went wrong because we postponed the real decisions until it was almost too late. President Bush has a chance to redeem this by speaking directly to the Iranian people and the international community and bypassing the wicked men who have run a noble country into a swamp of beggary, violence, crime, corruption, and disaster.
