Jed Babbin has a response to my “To Hell with Them” Hawks piece here. He says he’s not a “To Hell with Them” Hawk, but an “Endgame Conservative.” Andy McCarthy also addresses the piece here–and he is not happy with the “To Hell with Them” Hawk label either. Derb, bless him, is perfectly happy to own up to the label (although he thinks it’s too clunky), and will have a mighty blast at my piece up tomorrow. I will respond at some point after we finish the issue we are putting to bed right now. But while we’re quibbling over labels, let me say that I’m not a “neo-Wilsonian,” as Babin says, but a “neo-realist” (Stanley Kurtz is the other one, in case you’re keeping score at home).
