Christopher Hitchens: Patriot cum Citizen
God bless Christopher Hitchens! Congratulations, buddy! I think I can speak for everyone here at LLP that would like to offer Christopher Hitchens a warm welcome to American citizenship.
Unlike other expat legends—rock stars Bono and Neil ("Shock & Awe") Young come to mind—who fashion themselves as U.S. foreign policy experts while keeping their citizenship and their vote elsewhere, Mr. Hitchens had a change of heart after terrorists attacked New York and Washington. He watched the Pentagon burn from the rooftop of his apartment in northern Virginia and later lost a mailman to anthrax. So one day this month he will walk into a government office just outside Washington, pledge his allegiance to the United States of America, and become a citizen.
Lucianne directed the way.

I may cut Bono a little more slack, for at least trying to say the right things about the War on Terror.
