More Friedman

Tom Friedman of the New York Times weighs in again on the various situations in the Middle East, with particular emphasis on Libya and Syria, and less on Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Since the NYT is about to drop behind the paywall, and out of sight, it is good to have a last look at Friedman's comments on his particular area of expertise.

Friedman ends up praying for our president to have good luck in our endeavors there. I cringe to think how rare good luck is in that part of the world, both for outsiders and for its sad residents. We will need more than luck if our actions there are to turn out to be anything other than a slow-motion train wreck.
