Traversing the blogosphere

Round-up of some notable recent posts from around the blogosphere, or why I like to read weblogs:

Andrew Sullivan received an e-mail from an American soldier who understood perfectly why President Bush went to Baghdad, and thought it was a terrific two hours.

The Braden Files has some interesting but little-known facts about World War II.

In honor of post-Thanksgiving capitalist shopping fever, John Little at Eye on the Left has a roundup on the Leftist lunacy of "National Buy Nothing Day," including some typical comments from his audience who can't resist taking the bait.

Gifted British journalist Melanie Phillips dissects the vicious anti-Semitism embodied by the recent award by the British Cartoon Society to a "vile" cartoon in the left-wing Independent of Ariel Sharon biting the head off a Palestinian baby.

President Bush made some conciliatory comments recently to the effect that Jews, Christians, and Muslims all "worship the same God." Donald Sensing explores that idea in detail, and concludes that the President, while well-meaning, is mistaken.

Stephen Pollard examines the recent maneuverings around Britain's possible entry into the euro and deeper involvement in the EU in general and uses the phrase "lies, hypocricy and economic madness." Very perceptive.
