True enough, and well said. Lowry's National Review led the way on this. A little more skepticism and openness to opposing opinions would have been advisable. Maybe they wanted to get out far ahead and give clear indications of the way for others to follow, lest they be left behind and lose their influence or the country miss the big opportunity to change the world.
It would be surprising if some of the big war pundits (Hanson, Peters, Price-Jones, Steyn) will have as much influence in the future as they had over the last two years or so. National Review will probably do some backpedaling to disassociate itself from the more determined and impassioned neocons, but they've lost some credibility in recent months.
Lol. I said that in 1989 when I let my subscription lapse.
