“We’ll live to see great things in Iran” 243
In this video from September 2011, Christopher Hitchens talks about Iran and the Iranians.
What we value most in his talk is that he reminds us to distinguish between the regime and the people of Iran.
When he announces that the regime has “raised a generation of people who have completely seen through religion”, the audience applauds (and if it’s true, we do too).
He is certain that the “verminous mullahs” are developing nukes, and will use them to blackmail the neighboring Sunni Arab states they intend to occupy, but will not use them against Israel. He doesn’t say why he believes this. We don’t.
