Michael J. Totten writes about drinking with Christopher Hitchens and several prominent Iraqis. Hitchens is an arrogant jerk.
My favorite line:
At one point, apropos of something I can’t remember, Ahman said to me: “I can tell you in one sentence how my country feels about your country.”
“Really?” I said. “Can you really boil it down to one sentence?”
“Yes,” he said. “And it is this: Thank you for coming, now please leave and take us with you.”
I laughed because it seemed totally contradictory and totally right.
