teepeeWell written? Its the usual 'measure past acts by current standards' diatribe. Even his first conjecture "Her death marks the end of an antidemocratic era " is unproven in the article and sufficiently vague enough so its unproveable, indefenible and undeniable all at the same time. You're just a knee-jerk anti.. you know... 'if everyone thinks A then I'll think B..cos I'm a rebel I am...'

This well written Christopher Hitchens article broadly reflects my views, though it's somewhat understandably restrained. I hope you enjoy reading it.
