Racism of Christopher Hitchens

Here he tells you why the entire Arab population is doomed (he also predicts that Mubarak will survive).  "More depressing still, even if there existed a competent alternative government, it is near impossible to imagine what its program might be. The population of Egypt contains millions of poorly educated graduates who cannot find useful employment, and tens of millions of laborers and peasants whose life is a subsistence one."  My favorite thing about opportunist writers who switch principles and beliefs for career and money is this; they all become boring once they switch.  It is true of Arab former leftists as it is true of Western former leftists.  I mean, I read and enjoy George Will (as fanatically right-wing and Zionist as he is) as a writer, but now can read Hitchens and predict what he will say next--a sure sign that the writer has become boring.  The previous Hitchens was refreshing and original and unpredictable.  Now, I would rather read Abraham Foxman--kid you not.
