I've always been more of a fan of having all navigation links or "secondary content" either in a right hand column (instead of on the left), or in a horizontal menu on the top of the page with drop down menus.
The reason?
People naturally read left to right [in the Western world*]. So whatever is on the left side of the screen is always [subconsciously] read first. Now when people go to a specific page on a website, they generally want to read the primary content on the web page first, not the navigation links. Therefore, by moving the navigation links off to the right, it removes them from their natural reading pattern unless they explicitly want to find the navigation links or secondary content.
This can result in a small effect (noticeable over some time) for increasing the speed at which a user can gain information from a website.
Edit: for some examples of this, just look at Digg, YouTube, the new Facebook, Woot, most blogs, most news websites, etc. Unless a website uses three columns, you'll rarely see navigation links in the left column nowadays.
* Arabic goes from right to left, and most languages of the Far East go from top to bottom.
