I conducted an online discussion last week with David Frum on a number of subjects including presidential politics and my journal, Democracy, but much of the conversation was about The Candy Bombers and its implications for today. Frum is among the most thoughtful conservative writers and though he is now known as the person who authored the phrase "axis of evil" for President George W. Bush in 2002, I have been following his work since I read his first book, Dead Right, in college in 1994.
