Over at his blog at NewMajority.com, David Frum writes this:

If those of us who still support the war are to overcome public skepticism, we’re going to need a better answer than, “Hey — no fair changing your mind!” Unfortunately that’s the first answer that Will has received from conservative writers, including my friend and one-time White House colleague Pete Wehner.

I agree that my initial post wasn’t sufficient to the task – which is why I wrote in the piece, “I plan to take up at a later time a substantive analysis of why Mr. Will’s column . . . is deeply flawed.” Which I now have done, and which can be found here.

Second, there have been a slew of substantive rejoinders to Will — direct or implied — including by Michael Gerson, Bill Kristol, Max Boot, Fred Kagan, Robert Kagan, Rich Lowry, Michael O’Hanlon and Bruce Riedel, and the Wall Street Journal editorial page. Not too bad, given that Will’s column appeared only three days ago.

Finally, I’m not sure David’s characterization of my response to Will — “Hey — no fair changing your mind!” — is quite accurate or textured (using an explanation point to inflate an argument you are about to puncture is often a giveaway of sorts). But readers can decide for themselves.
