A Self-defining moment at "National Review"

"One doesn't want to be accused of inhuman callousness; but I am willing to confess, and believe I speak for a lot of ["To-Hell-With-Them-Hawks"] (and a lot of other Americans, too) that the spectacle of Middle Eastern Muslims slaughtering each other is one that I find I can contemplate with calm composure," - John Derbyshire, National Review.

I suppose this must mean that Derbyshire is another conservative pundit who is turning on George Bush, who, at the moment at least, seems rather concerned about Muslims slaughtering each other. Or perhaps he is suggesting that we should simply declare a plague on all their houses, and go home. Or just maybe he really is displaying "inhuman callousness". Any suggestions?
