Coulter on a Tear -- for Coulter

It's Ann Coulter, so don't expect much more than a bunch of funny one-liners, but I did enjoy this one.

Over lunch, I found this hilarious Coulter column up over at Jewish World Review . I haven't enjoyed one of these this much in a long time: This earlier one was inexcusable, for example. But I do have to say I fully agree with her -- except for the matter of which country should be next on the Uncle Sam Tour -- when she says the following:

Perhaps we could put aside our national, ongoing, post-9/11 Muslim butt-kissing contest and get on with the business at hand: Bombing Syria back to the stone age and then permanently disarming Iran.

I also enjoyed the following:

So it's not exactly a scoop that Muslims are engaging in violence. A front-page story would be "Offended Muslims Remain Calm."

What is stunning about this spectacle is that their violence is working. With a few exceptions, the media won't show the cartoons that incited mass violence around the globe (cartoons available at www.anncoulter.com). And yet, week after week, American patriots endure "The Boondocks" without complaint. Where's the justice here?

and this:

If you don't want to get shot by the police, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, then don't point a toy gun at them. Or, as I believe our motto should be after 9/11: Jihad monkey talks tough; jihad monkey takes the consequences. Sorry, I realize that's offensive. How about "camel jockey"? What? Now what'd I say? Boy, you tent merchants sure are touchy. Grow up, would you?

While this kind of language is usually out of bounds, I think Coulter makes an excellent point here. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to worry about the opinion or "feelings" of someone who is uncivilized and will only take courtesy as a sign of weakness.

Coulter is on the money about Iran, but on Syria, she claims we should go to war based on the NATO charter. I don't recall exactly where, but I have seen some arguments that that is not the case. Besides, Syria gave us ample reason to invade long ago. How would a mere treaty convince our sluggish leaders to act now?

If we want to keep on laughing occasionally at Coulter's antics, we need to get serious about confronting Islam and we need to demand much more from our leaders in the way of spine than we have seen so far.
