It's more than okay, it's required for effective management of the populace! A key quotation to add to your pair above: "Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany... [I]t is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along... [T]he people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders... All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."--Hermann Goering. Here, Palin isn't necessarily defending war per se, but the trappings of war brought home to the domestic front (i.e. increased repression, legalized torture), but the basic point Goering was making still applies. Also: hi! Glad to see you're still around and posting! OK? It’s more than okay, it’s required for effective management of the populace! A key quotation to add to your pair above:

I heard a rumor about you moving back to SF, but I had no idea it was for Google. I guess Jason Perry said he "thought" he saw you a while back and had contacted Jenn about it. (If he hasn't found you yet, he's in SF too... ) I guess I don't have much to say other than "wow". Now I really have to come to visit again -- I want to see the Google campus!
