Nicey-nice, squishy-squish
Malkin seems to be going a bit wobbly, telling other bloggers to watch their anti-enemy rhetoric. Presumably she would reject this bit of bigoted rhetoric:
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
... since it clearly implies killing as many of the enemy as necessary.

Bush's medical model has a real chance of working, and we should give the treatment a fair clinical trial. But the injections of democracy and capitalism won't take unless we make it deadly clear that they are not optional. The followers of Mohammed intend to kill all of us. The 'moderates' in that part of the world [if such actually exist] will have no motive to root out the hard-liners if it looks like the latter can win. We must be convincingly prepared to take 10,000 eyes for an eye, to take 10,000 lives for a life. Strength counts above all in a warrior culture. ¶ 1:43 PM
