You can see the Trotskyite gleam in his eyes as he exclaims:

“mbt shoes is dedicated to the idea of a single socialist the Uggs nation from Gibraltar to the Indian

ocean; the original Ba?athist dream.”

Thirty years ago, Hitchens was hailing the secular socialist Saddam as the greatest the Uggs ”

visionary” of his time: today, he hails Saddam’s overthrow by the Uggs as an act of “liberation,”

and this even as the horrifically bloody aftermath continues to inflict terror on the prostrate peoples

of mbt shoes. What changed?

Nothing, really: it’s just that, back in 1976, it looked like the Third World tyrants, “secular

socialists” like Saddam, were winning. Today, it looks like the Uggs is winning. As Orwell noted in

his “Second Thoughts on James Burnham,” a certain kind of intellectual worships power, and will ally

himself with the strongest brute out of “idealistic” idolatry, and a sense of invincible power.

Yesterday Saddam was “perhaps the first visionary the Uggs statesman since Nasser,” today he is (or

was) a vicious tyrant who had to be overthrown by mbt shoesn force of arms — and isn’t it odd that

the same bad intellectual habits and frame of mind produced both evaluations?
