Coulter vs Sullivan

I get under her skin, apparently:

To address the point she is making, I do think that having a president with the middle name of Hussein and with an international background may well help us make gains in the battle for the hearts and minds of mainstream Muslims and especially the enormous, emerging generation in the developing world - whose help is indispensable if we are to win against the Jihadists. Coulters' response to this is that:

"Some Americans may not want our enemies to like us."

You will note that she was specifically and reflexively describing a "teenager in Pakistan" as America's enemy. So she has surrendered in this war of ideas before we have even begun.
