Catholic Neo-cons now want peace, by Lew Rockwell

The freedom to change one’s mind is a human right, and we can only celebrate when someone rejects moral error in favor of truth. For that reason, we can hail the crowd of intellectuals and politicians who are turning from their support of the War on Iraq toward skepticism and rejection.
Far more problematic are the intellectuals, particularly religious intellectuals such as Michael Novak, Jerry "God-is-pro-war" Falwell, and the Rev. Richard J. Neuhaus.

The net is filled with rumors that Fr. Neuhaus, for example, is inching toward an antiwar stance, which, again, we can only praise. Fr. Neuhaus played a very important role in urging people to mute their consciences, ignore the Vatican, and march in lockstep with the Bush administration.

But let’s look back. As the blood lust of the Bush administration increased, many religious Catholics were getting nervous, since there was no sense in which an attack on Iraq could be reconciled with Just War teaching. It was not a defensive war, not a last-resort war, not a proportionate war, not a war aimed only at the military, and it was not authorized by the competent authority. It was an imperial adventure to satisfy the longings of a lunatic, and it has ended in complete catastrophe, economically and morally.

If you don't see any bugs or if you can't determine the reason why the plant is looking sick, take a sample in to
the local county extension office. As much as you may want to grow radishes and lentils in
your kitchen you don't want to blemish your frugal reputation. In some cases, the quantity of materials for making compost in the amounts desired (an annual layer 2 inches deep across the garden) cannot be obtained.

This kind of mulch s also more natural looking than other mulch
choices out there for the delicate look of flower gardens.
Mulch will reduce weed growth and prevent new weeds
from growing in the garden. In this same respect, mulch aids in the prevention of
soil splashing onto plants.

In the US, we still express this as cubic inches, feet, or
yards. The estimate you receive will be based on the number of skips
you need, what size skip you want, and how long you plan to keep it.

Repairing larger cracks or holes in driveways takes a little more time and preparation.
