In her weekly column, Ann Coulter responds brilliantly to those who derailed the terrorist interrogation bill in the U.S. Senate this week.

Led by Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham (along with lobbying from former Secretary of State, Colin Powell), a contingent of apologists argued that America should afford terrorist detainees more rights and privileges.

Ann Coulter’s response:

“But being nice to enemies is an idea that has never worked, no matter how many times liberals make us do it. It didn’t work with the Soviet Union, Imperial Japan, Hitler or the North Vietnamese—enemies notable for being more civilized than the Islamic savages we are at war with today.

...

It was this idea (Be nice!) that fueled liberals’ rage at Reagan when he vanquished the Soviet Union with his macho “cowboy diplomacy” that was going to get us all blown up. As the Times editorial page hysterically described Reagan’s first year in office: “Mr. Reagan looked at the world through gun sights.” Yes, he did! And now the Evil Empire is no more. ”
