I like her shoes I like her hat

I’d watch you better if you blogged like that…

The Agitator: Lies of war.

Ampersand: How many men are rapists? Powerful post.

Kairos: Advent in a Nazi prison.

Mark Shea: Help a Hindu. Specifically, help a Hindu understand her son’s conversion to Catholicism. All I can really think of is prayers to Saint Monica, but perhaps some of my readers can add other suggestions.

Regions of Mind: Roundup of stories detailing the advances made by Iraq’s Kurds.

Stuart Buck: Buckblogger Matt Evans on the fact that (reported) infanticide rates have climbed steadily for the past 30 years. I am very open to the suggestion that this trend is related to something that happened thirty years ago next month; but I also note that the Child Trends study being cited only dates back to 1970, so the infanticide rate could well have been rising for some time before the advent (ha ha) of Choice on Earth.

Unqualified Offerings: Why do they love us in Iran?; why do they hate us in Beirut?; and something that deserves its own post.

CatholicMil.org–I’ve spotted several military addresses in my referrer logs, and figured some of you folk might be interested in a site for Catholics in the armed services. Link via Father Tucker.
