Hitchens never advocated genocide. He was very sensitive to the dangers of extremism and totalitarianism, which he saw and reported on first-hand. His experience as a leftist opened his eyes to cant and extremism. His support for the war against Iraq is certainly a weak point and many of his arguments look like awkward post-facto justification. He did get too close to neo-cons and many of his arguments on political matters are specious but it is hard to accuse him of advocating indiscriminate violence, though he did support resistance against religious extremists. Read his essays and you'll see that. Don't rely on dopey quotes by third parties (including mine).
