“I did not, I wish to state, become a journalist because there was no other ‘profession’ that would have me. I became a journalist because I did not want to rely on newspapers for information.”
Love, Poverty, and War: Journeys and Essays showcases the Hitchens rejection of consensus and cliché, whether he’s reporting from abroad in Indonesia, Kurdistan, Iraq, North Korea, or Cuba, or when his pen is targeted mercilessly at the likes of William Clinton, Mother Theresa (”a fanatic, a fundamentalist, and a fraud”), the Dalai Lama, Noam Chomsky, Mel Gibson, and Michael Bloomberg.
Hitchens began the ’90s as a “darling of the left” but has become more of an “unaffiliated radical” whose targets include those on the “left”, whom he accuses of “fudging” the issue of military intervention in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet, as Hitchens shows in his reportage, cultural and literary criticism, and opinion essays from the last decade, he has not jumped ship and joined the right but is faithful to the internationalist, contrarian, and democratic ideals that have always informed his work.

Thank you :ratsplatter. Christopher Higgins always gave me plenty to think about.

Thanks, just what I am in the mood for!

They’ll never replace, er, that Christopher Higgins bloke. Always a stimulus to clarity of thought. Particularly in promotion of catastrophic wars in the Middle East. And a bit of the old internationalist “democracy” thrown in.

Yes, let’s blame Hitchens for the Iraq war, not Bush, Cheney, and Blair.

No blame attaches for vigorous cheerleading of brutally murderous wars, then? Just a victimless offence, all in a day’s lucrative work?
