I’ve just finished reading David Frum’s very powerful indictment of Buchananite pale-conservatism, in the latest issue of National Review magazine. Frum charges leading paleo-cons with the worst sort of bigotry and anti-Americanism, and he backs up his charges with many detailed quotes. This article is going to mark a watershed in the battle to define conservativism. I’m curious about one thing, though. What is the paleocon dove position on Korea? Do they see the possible sale by Korea of nuclear material to al Qaeda as a threat to the United States? Do they see a war in Korea as an Israeli plot? I really don’t know the answer to these questions, and it may be too early in the Korean crisis for anti-war paleos to have taken a stand. But it sure will be interesting to see what they say.
