It's not at all 'only a good thing' if he's leading with the central western propaganda trope - the very element that allows the 'something must be done' notion to flourish in the first instance. Everything after that is just soft-shoe-shuffling about how to get 'the job' done and the extent of arm-twisting exerted on supposed inspectors and regulatory bodies - none of whom ultimately have any meaningful influence on the western war machine. My first sentence in this thread acknowledged the positive in Hitchens' article - it's true, we ought to aknowledge the scraps of truth that limp from the lie miasma. But I'll say it just once more in this thread: I'll continue to call out the propaganda when I see it.
