It’s becoming a huge problem on the internet: We all visit the sites we agree with. It’s nice and easy to read through a long article on how awful the Iraq war is and what a monster the US has become, because it supports beliefs I already hold. - Which is probably why I shouldn’t be reading it. I should be reading more stuff like this: A War to be Proud Of. It’s written by Christopher Hitchens.

LET ME BEGIN WITH A simple sentence that, even as I write it, appears less than Swiftian in the modesty of its proposal: “Prison conditions at Abu Ghraib have improved markedly and dramatically since the arrival of Coalition troops in Baghdad.”

The web is the perfect creator of a lovely comfort zone. Step outside it or become a moron. Also: Link to the daily show with Stewart talking to Hitchens.
