The spiritual error of the Iraq-war neoconservatives is that they took on their fathers’ baggage rather than doing like Huck and getting rid of dad and lighting out for the territory. Their fathers were haunted by the Holocaust, and the sons took on this haunting rather than looking around and seeing what the new Jewish condition in America was.
This is a long way of saying that if you go on the Commentary Magazine cruise to Alaska, you get to hang out with four members of the Podhoretz family, mom, dad, son, son-in-law. Fun!
