QOTD.

The TNR.com comments section considers a replacement for Bill Kristol:

As to Hanson, the man is a parody of the angry, washed-up academic. He hasn't published any serious scholarship in years, and his columns and books since about 2002 have been filled with exactly the type of ignorant know-it-all-ism and slavish acceptance of fashionable but untested armchair generaliship that he made his name challenging as a young man. When we abandon gunpowder and send our spear-carrying hoplites out to meet Persian slave archers in open combat, then and only then should serious people ask Victor Davis Hanson what he thinks about current events.
