the question of whether you supported a war of choice against a weak and non-threatening country when a major terrorist act of mass murder for which that country bore no responsibility. and which had yet to be fully answered for, came down, in his mind, to: why don't you hate Saddam Hussein? It's a useful point of positioning for him, because, while Hitchens is often blatantly dishonest, devoid of empathy, and views any kind of nuance as a form of intellectual and moral corruption, he can always make a supremely convincing case for why you should hate someone.
