In the later day of opinions for the sake of 'free speech' as we are in now (See remarks in American media where an offended progressive author suggests revisiting freedom of speech protections for Media made years ago by Supreme Court in 1960's), the late Mr. Hitchens would have been more direct about his invectives against any moderated observations that had the appearance of contradicting his deeply held views of limited life that he could not control because he was not able to see past his own view of his own intellect. Some might have concluded he was living in his own dream world, but of such one might draw a conclusion that Mr. Hitchens was frustrated in that he could not obtain that control for he did not understand the why the world did not conform to his world-view model. He was not alone; neither are those who, appearing as his successors, that cannot realize the world is in a state of freefall for the lack of civility in defiance of those seeking peace in the face of tyranny. Mr. Hitchens was right at home blaming the religious implications that appear to undergird the causes of say, why the ayatollahs seek Israel's defeat for their own perceptions of Islamic religious rule, its own form of ambitions of power.
