Hitchens on Iraq
It's fighting talk, but not as we've known it.He's not happy with the new Bush policy, as the title of the article suggests: "How Bush is blowing our last chance", I think on the grounds that he believes it will undermine his idea (itself not fully thought out, one fears) that the US Army is the 'militia for those who don't have a militia'. He adds: "if the Iraq to which they stick is in fact symbolized by Maliki's surly confessional regime, then the United States is not baby-sitting a civil war so much as deciding to take part in it". He doesn't suggest an alternative proposal.
