Saddam's crimes, al Qaeda massacres, Kurdish freedom, oil worth
fighting for... and a few other things "potluck peaceniks"

now at war with the forces of reaction," Hitchens writes in The Stranger. Even when faced with the the genocidal record of Saddam Hussein's regime, "nothing
seems to disturb the contented air of moral superiority that
surrounds those who intone the 'peace movement.,'" he says.
