READER RESPONSES
I was so disappointed to read how the \"Mouth of the South\" called for a humble America and practically blamed the reign of Osama bin Laden's terror on this country. [TED TURNER], I once admired you. Now you disgust me. One wonders, Ted, how many of your millions donated to \"good worldwide causes\" were misused by the current idiots running these terroristic countries. Gimme a break, Ted, and start using your millions to solve America's problems before you start worrying about those terrorist folks who are so jealous of rich, fat-cat Americans like you that they've decided they should kill us all. The various anti-U.S. military \"peace\" demonstrations now occurring in our country bother me. Many people were opposed to the war for our independence. They were wrong. Many opposed Lincoln's efforts in the Civil War. They were wrong. Many opposed the Allied efforts against Hitler in World War II. They were wrong. Similarly, many now oppose our current campaign against terrorism. They are wrong. It seems that the frightened, naive and foolish will always be with us. The only difference is that this sprinkling of naysayers is now surrounded by almost as many TV cameras, held steady by news people eager to amplify their own liberal world view. Catherine Scott's column on demonizing cultures is just the same garbage that has liberal professors, including herself, gnashing their teeth at the patriotism and overwhelming support Americans have for using force to protect our lives. Without suggesting any specific solution, Scott seems to say that by holding the leaders of extremist movements responsible for their murderous acts we \"demonize them.\"

Don Melvin's Wednesday story (\"War-weary Afghan irate as bombing injures kin\") leaves me wondering just how desperate the Journal must be for something newsworthy. If Melvin needs a terribly sad story to print, he only needs to venture in the direction of New York City, Washington or Pennsylvania. He can find thousands of people who have sadder tales to tell than Raees Mazloomyar. According to a Journal article, Ted Turner \"displayed his garrulous and sometimes profane style\" during a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington (\"Turner urges 'humble' U.S.,\" Thursday.) What was his message? The United States needs to be humble in international affairs, because \"if you're rich and powerful, you better be nice, and humble. . .\" Does the advice \"physician, heal thyself\" come to mind?

The thought that Mets brass once thought Kaz Matsui was good enough to supplant Jose Reyes would be laughable if it weren't so scary. However, through all the booing and vilification, Matsui never failed to play hard and never disrespected the team or the fans. I won't miss him, but I do respect his grace and professionalism. Joe Biasi As an objective New York sports fan, I can't help but be amused when I see how arrogant and jealous Yankee fans have become over the Mets' success this season. The Mets' good seasons may be few and far between, but they are savored and appreciated by their fans. The Yankees' consistency has made their fans envious when the Mets become as good or better. Rather than give the Mets credit for their hard work, they are resentful, which is a disgrace and shameful.

Dads what I'm talking about! After watching cheating referees, quarterbacks on trial and non-stop steroid accusations, seeing the reaction of Joba's father to his son pitching makes it feel like there are still some good stories left in sports! Ethan Turk Central Islip Scooter's in the outfield I think we should name the squirrel on the foul pole at Yankee Stadium Scooter.
