[ QUOTE ]
First of all, I said I was wrong on the quote.

Second, if you look at her statement, it violates some pretty fundamental values of the America I want to live in:

1. We do not invade other nations unless they present an imminent threat to us.
2. We do not assasinate foreign leaders
3. We do not force people to adopt a specific religion.

What's that saying of Franklin's again about liberty and temporary security?

I can't believe anybody did not get the tounge-in-cheek point she was making. She was flipping the goal of radical Islam back on them. You do need to stay away from Coulter's columns. Besides there are other venues for biting political comments, like when Al Gore compare's the Bush administration to Hitler's. That's much more reasonable.

And BTW, your number one point is wrong. Completely contradicted by our national history. This is a comment intended to make Bush look bad that just doesn't work. Start with Clinton and Kosovo and work your way back through all our military excursions and see how many times you can make that statement true.
