Jonah Goldberg's suggestion was to increase the freedom of Africans. Anne Coulter's suggestion was to revoke the freedom of Moslems (innocent and guilty alike). The two suggestions stand in stark contrast.

The current freedom of Afghani Moslems is the freedom to live under a system of Islamic law which punishes conversion/"apostasy" with death. Exactly how free is that? The contrast is hardly so stark and clear.

You can correct their system of government--as we should and will--without "converting them to Christianity".

My hope was that Anne Coulter would recognize the distatefulness of her statement and disavow what (understandable, forgivable) grief led her to say...but alas, great publicity is more important.
