Hear it or see it at Democracy Now. Hitchens makes the cogent, reasonable, yet passionate case FOR the war in Iraq and the positive outcomes of it. Galloway just blares leftist/socialist invective. It's hard to doubt who makes most rational case.

Ironically, your biased transparent and biased "right-wing" take on the debate makes your argument as shoddy as you purport Galloway's to be.
Well, I never claimed not to have a point of view, which is, (oversimplified) right-wing, but I maintain that Hitchens has facts on his side. And he presents them in a much more rational, straightforward way than Galloway. Galloway is over-emotional, LOUD and he does the usual name-dropping and ad hominem attacks which are the hallmark of weak arguments. The fact that the audience hoots and hollers in his favor most of the time doesn't add any sort of credibility to Galloway either.
