The Good Neocons, Ctd

Hilzoy goes after Daniel Finkelstein:

[N]eoconservatives were not just insufficiently patient [during the run-up to Iraq]; they were reckless beyond belief, willing to bring down unspeakable costs on other people without bothering to weigh the possibility that their simplistic and unrealistic views of the world might be wrong. If Mr. Finkelstein wants to change his ways and become more "patient", power to him. To my mind, though, this column, with its equally simplistic (and insulting) view of his opponents, shows that he has not changed nearly enough.
