]]> Comment on A man with a score to settle. Christopher Hitchens: review of What’s Left by Marc McKenzie http://nickcohen.net/2012/02/20/a-man-with-a-score-to-settle-christopher-hitchensreview-of-whats-left/#comment-4233 Mon, 20 Feb 2012 23:00:35 +0000 http://nickcohen.net/?p=2097#comment-4233 As an American who has read WHAT’S LEFT?, I thought that Hitchens was spot-on in his review. Well-written and straight to the point.

My personal review is this: WHAT’S LEFT? is one of the best political books I have ever read. I am very glad that I bought it (back in 2011), and I have read it cover to cover at least three times already. It may be a polemic, Mr. Cohen, but it is a damned good one. And in light of events in Libya and now Syria and with our own upcoming Presidential election, I have to say that your book has provided me with a lot of food for thought.

Where are the required multitudes if Nick Cohen and RD are to win?

This seems also sadly true of the human rights groups and even some charities who have not raised much ire over Syria where they did over Gaza. Caroline

]]> Comment on Where are the judges fit for the internet age? by Ross Burns http://nickcohen.net/2012/02/12/where-are-the-judges-fit-for-the-internet-age/#comment-4188 Sun, 12 Feb 2012 11:42:07 +0000 http://nickcohen.net/?p=2017#comment-4188 Great piece. In the years ahead, maybe a lot people will start recoiling from the web, once they have been affected in a bad way by it. It will become a different thing with people’s changing behaviour but surely there will be smarter use of it?
I shake my head at Paul’s story.
