A Debate I'd like to see:
For entertainment value, if nothing else. From today's NY Post:
September 12, 2005 -- TWO rapière Brit wits will cross blades on Wednesday over the war in Iraq. George Galloway, the former boxer and member of Parliament, will debate caustic Vanity Fair scribe Christopher "Hellbound" Hitchens at the Baruch College Performing Arts Center. In May, Galloway appeared before the Senate oil-for-food investigation subcommittee and used the occasion to launch a blistering tirade against America and the war in Iraq. Hitchens described him as a "renegade member of Parliament who has been Saddam Hussein's chief propagandist in Britain" with an "ugly mouth," while Galloway countered the writer was nothing but a "drink-sodden former Trotskyist popinjay."
