There are some interesting debates in the US at the moment on the left about the attitude to military action against Iraq and about the war on terror. I have been reading quite a lot of Christopher Hitchens’ articles of late and find them very thought-provoking. Hitchens recently quit his longstanding Minority Report column at The Nation – a move which prompted a lot of snide comments from his critics. He has also been involved in some heated but very revealing exchanges with Noam Chomsky and these discussions along with some good interviews with this Englishman in the States can be found at the (unofficial) Hitchens Website.
