But he does have strong opinions on other topics, as you might have noticed if you subscribe to The American Conservative. Part II is coming up tomorrow.

i think the key thing with greg is that he was loud and proud about his opinions in 2002-2003. unlike progressive/left political circles there wasn't any movement to reinforce his opinions, he was going against the flow of a 'popular' invasion, and in particular from his own camp.
All of the smart people *I* know were openly against the war from the start... that is, the ones who cared at all.
