If you have not viewed nor read the debate which took place in Toronto this past Friday evening, I urge you to set aside 90 minutes to view it. I have all nine videos up on my blog, Women's Lens, on which you can click to view, or you can watch all of them on Youtube; there are nine segments of approximately 14 minutes each save for the last one which is under 7 minutes.
You may not think that the topic is relevant to foreign policy, but in today's world, religion is at the core of most conflicts. It will be hard not to prejudice you one way or the other by writing this article, but just the same, you can arrive at your own conclusions.
For good measure, I have included one of the videos, # 7, with the article as it deals with the Middle East, which is undoubtedly one of the most heated controversies in the world today. I was shocked to hear Blair say that the problem was not one of religion, but rather politics. The Hitchens response is priceless.
