There is much I disagree with Christopher Hitchens about. But on the war in Iraq and on the shallowness of Barack Obama's campaign, he is spot on:
"So amnesiac have we become, indeed, that we fall into paroxysms of adulation for a ward-heeling Chicago politician who does not complete, let alone "transcend," the work of Dr. King; who hasn't even caught up to where we were four decades ago; and who, by his chosen associations, negates and profanes the legacy that was left to all of us."
