Mistah Hitchens, he wrong

Christopher Hitchens makes a most unwise literary allusion in today's Wall Street Journal:

The [Fallujah] mob could have cooked and eaten its victims without making things very much worse. One especially appreciated the detail of the heroes who menaced the nurses, when they came to try and remove the charred trophies.

But this "Heart of Darkness" element is part of the case for regime-change to begin with.

Leave aside the Whatever Happens, It Justifies My Position logic. Heart of Darkness -- in which it was the occupying power, Belgium, that had brought depravity to the natives.
