Harrumph.
I rather like Christopher Hitchens.
What in this article did you find disagreeable?
It was, basically, just history and not so opinionated.
Perhaps I should put on another mindset and re-read the article, looking for 
something
neo-conish.

Just in case any listers are not aware Christopher Hitchens is a US based
English journalist who is a great embarrassment to us on this side of the
Atlantic, as we worry that people on the Virginia side of the Atlantic might
take him seriously. He is an excellent polemicist who does a very good 
novelty
act as the "English Neo-Con".

Always worth reading but not to be taken too seriously.

The same, I suggest, applies to the remarks of Ambassador Abd Al-Rahman.
Convenient polemic to justify a reaction.
