I always enjoy “American conservative” outrage. So in my second heresies post below, I explain how an American Puritan would find something, if maybe not much, to admire in “Wilsonianism.” For one thing, I wasn’t giving my own opinion, but an heretical one . . . Nonetheless, Daniel Larison must spend most of his life searching for “interventionists” to smite. For him, it’s heretical to think that any intervention is ever not misguided. I wasn’t sharing MY opinion about the Iraq thing.
