No one should even pay a single word of attention to this blowhard. He's been basically wrong about everything he's written in the past dozen years. Friedman is the definition of a windbag. If the Times knew what was good for them, they would have fired all of their Iraq War Cheerleaders in about 2004 when it became obvious to those to whom it wasn't obvious is 2002 that the war was a huge mistake. They needed to purge, and could still use a bit.
