I'm not some kind of droog kicking drunks in the street. One's opponents should be sober at least and preferably in good health also. But it's hard to avoid this remarkable statement from
Hitchens:I'm glad we're not having an inquest now, as we would be, into why we allowed a Rwanda or a Congo to develop on the Gulf, an imploding Iraq right in front of our eyes, a vortex of violence and meltdown, a whole society beggared and fractured and traumatised, waiting to fall to pieces.
But that is exactly what happened in Iraq, as a direct result of the illegal and criminal invasion which you, the traitor Hitchens, aggressively supported. Surely you, Hitchens, cannot be unaware of this fact?Hitchens:One of the bitter aspects of that is, well, I put in 60 years at the coalface, I worked very hard. In the last few years I've got a fair amount of recognition for it. In my opinion, actually, rather more than I deserve. Certainly more than I expected. And I could have looked forward to a few years of, shall we say, cruising speed, you know, just, as it were, relishing that, enjoying it.
Hitchens sold his soul to the devil to get his reward of money, fame, success and recognition. Instead, he got terminal cancer.
Truly pitiful.
Hitchens decided to switch his support to the US Empire over the criminal, baseless, counterproductive, disastrous, genocidal Iraq war.
It's like someone who decides to support Soviet Russia, not during the 1917 Revolution or the 1941 Great Patriotic war, but during the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia or the 1979 Afghanistan invasion.
You would have thought even the slowest of them would know better by then.
God didn't strike Hitchens down with cancer over his atheism or imperialism, he did to to give us a bitter, ironic laugh at this World-Historical clown figure.

Christopher Hitchens Catches his Death of Cancer

I have no problem with your kicking this man while he's down. He is definately not going away gracefully. The deeper his cancer takes hold the more bitter he will become. He has made enemies with his mouth and the thought of them relishing his demise as a result will be too much for him to take. He has brought this upon himself.
He has placed himself at the center of his universe and now it is all imploding upon him. Fortunately for him there is a loving God who will provide him with salvation. If God was like Hitchens then none would be forthcoming. There is still a great awakening he will need to go through though, and this will be his own personal 'Hell'. But it should be this way, for we reap what we sew. That's fair and when this happens he can not complain.
