The event
succeeded more as theater than as education, with both characters playing
to the gallery and practically imitating themselves.
The basic problem is that a debate over the war in Iraq is a little bit
like debating whether the earth is round or flat, or as Galloway put it,
"Is there any sentient being on this planet who still believes that this
war was just and necessary?"
Even listening over the Web, the debate seemed as ritualized as professional
wrestling. There really is nothing more to be said about the war on Iraq.
It just lies there like a corpse rotting on the living room floor.
Needless to say, Galloway was tops in both substance and style, while
Hitchens does indeed seem:
rather crazed at this point.
