The Hoover Institution's Henry Miller has an op-ed piece in today's New York Times on DDT. Miller argues that the limited use of DDT to kill mosquitos and prevent the spread of malaria, West Nile virus and other diseases is good public policy.

I agree.

DDT is cheap and safe for both humans and the environment when used responsibly. We could save tens, even hundreds, of thousands of lives annually if the wealthy, "enlightened" nations of the First World would not try to restrict its use in Africa, where it could do enormous good.
