POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS IN THE TELEGRAPH
I don't know what Christopher Hitchens is going on about, and I strongly suspect neither does he.
Americans are just generally ignorant of the nature and workings of Parliament.
Honestly, having grown up and lived half my life in America, I feel it fair to say that outside of some academics and devoted followers of world affairs, few Americans have the least idea about Parliament.
And over time, I suspect this becomes more and more true since Americans know one thing if they know anything, America is the greatest.
This should not surprise because amazingly few have any idea how their own Congress works.
Hitchens in this only confirms what I believe is a truth about his writing: the man is an obsessive writer even when he has nothing to say. I grant him saying it eloquently though.
