Entry: Mutual Assured Damnation Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/mutual_assured_damnation#238 Post contents: I gave up my subscription to National Review after becoming appalled with their wagons-circled Bushishm--debate is important on the conservative side! In fact, I eventually learned to read Frum's famous "Unpatriotic Conservatives" article in "reverse", finding places like this. But this longtime subscriber to First Things hasn't given up on that magazine. Back in the day, they ran several thought-provoking critiques of the pro-Iraq war position, a few of which stick in my mind. You won't find anything like that at the Weekly Standard. I preserve the hope that the magazine will come to swallow hard and review those dissenting arguments in light of the facts. Some of them will look quite prescient and it would be well for them to understand why. It's a great opportunity. Some of my appreciation for FT is personal: I discovered the magazine quite by chance while I was in a spiritual desert and it was a big help to me. A part of what is good about conservatism can be found in the pages of FT. Sent at: 2008 11 23
