In the guise of a review of the recent Frum/Perle tome, “An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror,” Michael Lind has done a very nice job of explicating the intellectual history of neoconservatism while simultaneously taking on David Brooks and his odd statement that neocons don’t really exist (and even if they did, to be against them is anti-semitic). The article is called, A Tragedy of Errors. He ends his piece with the following gem:

David Brooks and his colleagues in the neocon press are half right. There is no neocon network of scheming masterminds–only a network of scheming blunderers. As a result of their own amateurism and incompetence, the neoconservatives have humiliated themselves. If they now claim that they never existed–well, you can hardly blame them, can you?”
