I've mentioned a couple times following stories from Christopher Hitchens, but his latest I again feel the need to share. While he was in Beirut with some fellow journalists they came across signs mounted on the street with swastika's of the SSNP, a group of "christian orthodox" racist terrorists supported by Syria as a proxy. They are as close to neo-nazis as one can imagine. At any rate, the story is about him feeling obligated to deface such signs and gets beaten up over it and he and his friends end up fleeing as a police officer is too afraid to get involved. Very interesting story from a man with many other very interesting stories:

Our world needs more people like this guy in my opinion.
