While I have been preoccupied with fairly fruitless arguments, some other bloggers have been doing some excellent work on questions of more immediate importance.

Leon Hadar has put up two good posts on Iran, one of them pointing to an Ignatius column on the “Iranian missile crisis” that he, Mr. Hadar, had already talked about in the first post.

Daniel McCarthy has several good posts up in just the last day, including this analysis of how their attempt to finesse and pander on the immigration question has blown up in the GOP’s face.

Also on immigration, Chris Roach at Brainwash has an excellent post noting the political consequences of the last great, pre-1965 wave of immigration that resulted in the radicalisation and leftwards drift of our entire political life. Or to put it another way: if that wave gave us FDR, what sort of politics will this wave give us?

Leon Wolf, my colleague at Enchiridion Militis, the other blog to which I contribute, has some thoughtful comments for this Western Holy Week on the wayward, self-serving spirit in all too many American churches.

On a slightly more academic note, Edward Feser at Right Reason announces the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to Hayek.
