Why is this Vatican cardinal weighing in on the US border fence?  If it is moral to have a border and to police who crosses it and when they cross it, then is it not moral to use a fence as a means toward that end?  Analogies to Berlin Wall don’t hold up, because that wall was designed to keep people in, not out. 

I was prepared to unleash a diatribe against Ricahrd Perle and the other neo-cons who pushed for the Iraq war and had supposedly since come out against Bush and the war.  I should have considered the source, which was Vanity Fair.  Thanks to National Review, which has interviewed each of the featured “neo-cons” and set the record straight, by providing a fuller context and more balanced presentation to their comments.  I thought the elite liberal news organs were way into subltely.  Apparently not in this case.
