The vicious blog contest

MaxSpeak has posted the results of his Vicious Instapundit Blogroll Contest. He provides a public service by deconstructing the results. It is quite disturbing. Particularly Glenn Reynolds' post (as the name implies, Reynolds was the inspiration for the contest). I mean, he's a lawyer for chrissakes, yet still comes up with this:

Civilized societies have found it harder, though, to beat the barbarians without killing all, or nearly all, of them. Were it really to become all-out war of the sort that Osama and his ilk want, the likely result would be genocide -- unavoidable, and provoked, perhaps, but genocide nonetheless, akin to what Rome did to Carthage, or to what Americans did to American Indians. That's what happens when two societies can't live together, and the weaker one won't stop fighting -- especially when the weaker one targets the civilians and children of the stronger. This is why I think it's important to pursue a vigorous military strategy now. Because if we don't, the military strategy we'll have to follow in five or ten years will be light-years beyond "vigorous."

The other two links are to plain old lunatics, one of whom does deserve a visit from the Secret Service.
