Jed Babbin replies: It's against my religion to disagree with Lady Thatcher, but I think the thought doesn't fit our situation. We're in a new situation, and our government in its current form is clearly incapable of dealing with this threat. We need to keep our eye on this new agency to make sure it doesn't grow like kudzu (and its acronym is a bad omen. DOHs sounds like something out of Homer Simpson).

But this is a new kind of war -- one that comes to the front door of every American home -- and we need to have new tools to deal with it. We need to bring border security into the new environment. Sorry, but this is one agency even conservatives should welcome.

p> MIXED UP MEDIA br> Re: George Neumayr's Scornful Scribes : /p>

Your commentary concerning the media's treatment of the church's problem needed to be said. It's a wonder they don't end their commentary with a "smiley face" stamp.

For this Roman Catholic, as distinguished from an American Catholic, the liberalization of the Roman Catholic Church that resulted from the debacle of "Vatican II" is not only bearing its current poisonous fruit but is also emboldening a liberal attack on the celibacy of the priesthood. The church's position vis-à-vis homosexuality will grow exponentially.
