Take A Break from Memogate

Need a break from memogate? I have a few suggestions for you from a quick run through my blogroll...

Check out Jeff Corwnall's The Entrepreneurial Mind. Dr. Cornwall has had several good posts lately. Donald Sensing has announced he's taking a break from blogging for at least 6-8 weeks. I wish he'd at least continue to post his Sunday Sermons, but even if he doesn't, his blog is still worth visiting in the meantime as he has a rich trove of worthwhile writing. Meanwhile, I ought to link to Michael Williams' Master of None blog more often. Today, he's wondering if John Kerry's main source of information about the situation in Iraq is CBS and the New York Times. On the Left Coast, "faith-blogger" Mark D. Roberts is writing about the church and politics in America. And over at London Calling, , George Miller has good commentary about the difficulty of governing Britain, and the contentious fight there over a proposed ban on fox hunting. Call me stupid, but I think if Britain bans things that are distinctly British, eventually Britain will no longer be very British.

Back on American soil, Marvin Hutchens writes, "The debate over Vietnam isn’t won by continuing it; it is won by our resolve to not repeat the same mistakes." Hutchens writes:

The wars of the last century, like the current war, were against an enemy not of the United States, but of mankind’s inalienable rights. In combating those wars, the United States took a moral high ground, and suffered through a significant and long course of actions, which at any given date would leave one to believe success was impossible. Yet we pursued the cause with the aplomb that we must fight on, or the battle would end up on the streets of New York City, Washington, or rural Pennsylvania. Today, a portion of our government, and our populace fights on with the same assurance of both justice and inevitable victory, while remembering that the war has already come to our shores, yet it is only a portion of our nation, which does so.
