Holy mackerel!

Hitchens the Warmongering Hacker

A piece by Juan Cole, Professor of History at the University of Michigan, attacks former peacenik-turned-Neocon-lover Christopher Hitchens for attacking Cole, but it's well worth reading to the end and following the links.

Cole closes with:

"So sit down and shut up, American Enterprise Institute, and Hudson Institute, and Washington Institute for Near East Policy, and American Heritage Institute, and this institute and that institute, and cable "news," and government "spokesmen" and all the pundit-ferrets you pay millions to make business for the American military-industrial complex and Big Oil.

"We don't give a rat's ass what Ahmadinejad thinks about European history or what pissant speech the little shit gives.

"I call on university students across America to begin holding antiwar rallies. The only way you can have a war on Iran is to draft the young people. It is you who are on the line. Demonstrate! Demonstrate against the very hint of war! Demonstrate in front of the warmongering "institutes" in Washington, D.C.! Demonstrate to end the one we've already got! (See Speaker's Forum on Iraq)"

Be prepared for a tough and righteously angry article.
