Council speak 02/23/2007
The council has spoken and these are the results. On the Council side, Right Wing Nuthouse's A rock, a hard place and the deep blue sea was the winning entry. It considered how much of an ally Musharaaf really is. There was a second place tie between JoshuaPundit's I'm Tired of ‘Supporting the Troops’ and the Glittering Eye's The Impossibility of Victory. The former deals with the hypocrisy of those - both on the right and the left - claiming to 'support' the troops and undermining them with their actions; the latter argues that a stable, democratic Iraq was never in the cards. And because I really enjoyed two of the third place finisher's this week here are the third place finishers. Colossus of Rhodey considered the Best (And Worst) TV Show "Replacements", which brought up lots of memories. It was just plain fun. The Sundries Shack entered Global Warming -- What Can We Do? (Part I), which was a simple idea to save energy and the environment. The third third place winner was the Eternity Road's Fallen Angels about the purity of ideology.
On the non-Council side the winning entry was my submission of the Islamist Historiography at Cross Currents by Jonathan Rosenblum in which he re-considers the idea that the Islamist forced Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan is what's energized today's aggressive Islamist movement. The runner up was WizBang's No blogger is an island, the post that was the starting point for the Eternity Road's Fallen Angels.
