But he does have that one redeeming feature about him and that just might bring the religious right to the realization that they've been praying to false idols (hint: name me one that is prayed to which isn't).

I don't know dick about the middle east situation or the real dangers that America faces (nor do I care, frankly) but my best guess is that America aught to finish doing right by the Iraqi people; least they can do (and properly). So, it was interesting to hear Hitchens views on non-faith issues like the War on Terror and (of course) Bush. Not sure if i agree with it... but the guy does make some good points.
