The Importance of Going Hard

Christopher Hitchens has a way of being able to just tell you what is true, that in a way that everybody can grasp it. It's very important also to go back and say, these are the ones I ignored maybe for ideological reasons. In an interview with Jeremy Paxman he talks about regretting not going harder on Mugabe or Zeno Pf when they were Zimbabwean presidents. He was desperate to see the end of white supremacy in South Africa; same thing is true in Rhodesia as well.
