Gennady Stolyarov II is Editor-in-Chief of The Rational Argumentator posits that very question:
So who is weaker — the West or the Islamists? Only time can tell. Will the Islamists run out of their paltry stock of men and resources before the leftists manage to cripple the West? Or will an incessant barrage of centralization and government control in the West eradicate all of its military and economic advantages over the Islamists and enable a few weak, desperate fanatics to bring down the most prosperous and civilized society the world has ever seen?

I urge you to read this new post from Michael Yon. This one is titled Under Distant Stars and involves Michael taking an Angel Flight flight to Landstuhl. Simply amazing.
Thanks to Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette for alerting us to this cool contest, a scholarship is being awarded to a blogger who is also a full-time student. Well, our good friend Matt Burden, aka Blackfive, is going to grad school full-time getting his MBA.
Nobody is more deserving. Matt is a tireless advocate of the troops, and the mission. He supports them in numerous ways, like supporting everything Soldiers Angels does, through the VictoryPAC and of course, through the invaluable Blackfive. He has inspired me to do more, and I ask that you support him now.
Go here to vote for Matt!!!
As they say in Matt’s hometown of Chicago, vote early and often!

Will the Real Mitt Romney Please Stand Up?
by Gregg Jackson
Human Events OnlinePosted: 10/02/2007
Former Governor Romney goes to great lengths in a Wall Street Journal article entitled “Where Hillary Care Goes Wrong,” (WSJ op/ed, p. A-13, Sept 20,2007) to dispel the notion that the healthcare plan he signed into law (Romney Care) as he was leaving office in 2006 is essentially similar to Hillary Clinton’s recently unveiled “universal” healthcare plan.
Romney says, “Let’s be clear here: My plan in Massachusetts worked very differently from the way Senator Clinton’s plan would.” Actually, his plan was quite similar to Hillary’s “universal” plan-paradoxically titled “Healthy Choices”– in that it increased government mandates, regulation, costs, and bureaucracy with less choice for consumers. It was also the same plan that was praised by Hillary herself (Ted Kennedy too).
