Even more briefly noted

There's a debate at National Review's The Corner about Oliver Cromwell. As far as we are concerned, the definitive assessment of Cromwell was made by the noted historian, Morrissey. But anyway, readers looking to be provoked may enjoy John Derbyshire's contributions here and especially for Drogheda readers, here.

[UPDATE] Some e-mailers take on Derb, including one who notes the important point that the 1640s Catholic Irish were (Stuart) Loyalists, as the term then would have been understood.
