Except for a fistful of Trotskyists, all those attending the rally in Lafayette Park last weekend were complaining of the financial cost of the war and implying that the problems of the Middle East were none of their concern. I found myself reacting badly to the moral complacency of this. Given the history and extent of US engagement in the region, some regard for it seems obligatory for American citizens. However ill it may sound proceeding from the lips of George Bush, internationalism has a clear advantage over the language of America First.

The bay of Elefsina, the modern name for ancient Eleusis, is a graveyard for ships named after gods and nymphs... Also in evidence is Hitchens’s unencumbered commitment to free speech. The most obvious example is “The Salman Rushdie Acid Test” (1994), itself a follow up to an earlier LRB essay, “Siding With Rushdie” (1989, collected in For the Sake of Argument ) . It was in these articles that Hitchens castigated establishment figures and postmodern cynics —“official and unofficial point missers”— who failed to take a stand against Ayatollah Khomeini’s attempt to hire assassins to kill the author of The Satanic Verses . (It was in these articles, too, that LRB critic David Runciman, writing in 2010, scented signs of the post-2002 unsafety: was not Hitchens’s stand a “dry run” for his response to 9/11?)

Having the bride arrive by herself in our beautiful Victoria carriage adorned with white floral sprays and helped out of the carriage by her father or grandfather to be given away down the aisle is breathtaking.

Ms. Linda, I can't thank you enough for your part in making my daughters wedding day so magical ! I received numerous positive comments from friends and family about how surprised they were to see Bingo and you rounding the corner with our beautiful bride! You and Bingo were impeccable! While all eyes are on Gaza – where the death toll, according to the Hamas-run health ministry, has passed eight thousand – the ethnic cleansing in... Yes, he was in office during the Bay of Pigs (he thought he was too new to stop that particular freight-train) but he put his foot down & refused to use the air force to save the invasion. And thereafter fired Allen Dulles (something UnHeard of) & vowed to smash the CIA into a thousand pieces. Wolfe is “safe” territory: glib conservative humorist sends up naive sixties idealists but misses the obvious “snigger potential” at Reaganite tables. Desert Storm ought to have been “safe”, too — the LRB would presumably have liked more in this antiwar vein throughout the 2000s — but on close inspection some of the post-2002 “trouble” was brewing in Hitchens’s disdain for the isolationism of America’s antiwar leftists circa 1991:Allen & Unwin Australia’s leading independent publisher of smart fiction and non-fiction, published in the UK through Atlantic Books. Iraq is neither ethnically nor politically homogenous. If its infrastructure and psyche are badly torn, it has the recognised potential of becoming another Lebanon, with Sunni, Shia and Kurd making up for lost time. As with Lebanon also, neighbouring countries might interest themselves in the turmoil…Iran would be unlikely to resist the chance to break the stalemate of 1988.

That fact that Hitch has only recently absented himself from his homeland may be more of a factor here, patriotically-speaking, than he is letting on (one’s accent grows stronger, etc. — see below). Meanwhile, I’m inclined to suspect the concern Commander H was raising might actually have been that the under-tested and economically-hampered Royal Navy of 1982 (and by extension, the wider nation) might not encounter a catastrophic humiliation in the rough seas of the South Atlantic winter. Still, who can say, at this distance? Arriving in a Horse & Carriage on your wedding day is without doubt the most romantic experience you could wish for.

An airman is looking forward to completing his tour of duty and becoming a civilian. A gremlin sergeant ("Grogan, technical gremlin first class") accompanies him on the way to the discharge office, ostensibly to ensure the airman doesn't decide to re-enlist. The gremlin then presents a series of arguments that superficially suggest that civilian life is better, but cumulatively favor re-enlistment. At the end, the airman re-enlists. Donnington Castle, Berkshire, England, UK (Professor Wagstaff's laboratory, where he and Paul and Fiona test his time machine)I forget how exactly his reasoning for the continued occupation went. Something about the 101st being the only bastion fighting for secular values, when the military was doing anything but that, whatever one said about those allayed against them (who were definitely religious but he didn't seem to ask why). I always mightily enjoyed Hitchens speaking bile to power, but thought his defense of the Iraq invasion curious, wrong-headed and ultimately reprehensible.
