    My 14 year old brother could write a more interesting and more correct analysis. I wonder how these people become famous in the US *shrug*

    Edit: And count me in the "I closed the window as soon as I saw the name of the author" category. I'm perfectly willing to read analysis made by the other side of the political spectrum. Poorly written half-arsed propaganda is a whole other matter.

    Edit2: And she's a he.
    Is your post an example of the type of interesting and correct article that your brother could write? You know what Meneldil? Anyone could say the same thing about half or more of the liberal commentators out there with a lot more to back up what they say. This thread has only one actually criticism of what she wrote...which surprises me, because they usually are just all blind rejections without a bit of rebuttal.

    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    Once the U.S. got control of Iraq's oil fields, the Shia, Sunni and Kurds could decide to either prosper together or starve together. (And it's not just oil: They're basically sitting on top of most of the world's proven reserves of cab drivers)

There are also insane people ruled by insane leaders (but enough about the House Democratic Caucus). Sane people with sane rulers has not been fully tried yet.
    And with that, I was done with the article. Once more, Coulter proves herself to be a petulant child, desperately in need of more attention. Coulter does not appear to be motivated by any more than the desire to promote herself and slander liberalism, multiculturalism, and all else that does not conform with her worldview. She paints with the broadest strokes, and strikes venomously at any who have the gall to point this out.

    Oh, and this rather irritated me as well:
    But as our military under Bush showed the world in 21 days, scimitar-wielding savages are no match for the voluntary civilian troops of a free people.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Did you actually read the article?
    Let's have a look at it:

    Now nearly all denizens of the Middle East want the U.S. to invade them.
    As Thomas Friedman inadvertently admitted, Lebanese voters credit their recent free election, in which the voters threw out Hezbollah, to President Bush.
    Brave Iranian students who protested the tyrant Ahmadinejad did so because of Iraq
    But as our military under Bush showed the world in 21 days, scimitar-wielding savages are no match for the voluntary civilian troops of a free people.
    What the hell? Does anyone actually buy this? Does anyone actually blame Obama for Irak and Afghanistan?
    She's just making points out of thin air. And then, her points are so ridiculously biased and stupid, it's not even funny to read them. Once upon a time I thought she trully was one of these american nutjobs completely out of touch with reality, but I'm more and more convinced she's just a real-life professional troll.

    Someone has anger issues. :P Smoke the peace pipe my man! Political commentary should not move you to that. It is their job to be angry, and ours to sit back and laugh.
    When a political commentary purpose is to brainwash the reader, I have every goddam right to be angry phrase deleted by moderator. But then as you said, she's not the only one doing that. She's just really good at spouting nonsense.
    When a political commentator writes nonsense, he should be publicly humiliated. This job is way too easy: any moron can write whatever goes through his mind without ever facing the consequences of his own crap.

    As for something more correct about Afghanistan:
    - Nobody cared about it because everyone focused on Irak
    - Things got pretty bad while people focused on Irak
    - People realize it and go "ZOMG".
    Note that it's also shorter, less biased and probably more accurate than everything produced by Ann Coulter throughout her whole life (despite being a mere oversimplification).
