C’mon Yoram B. You’re smarter than this. The Thomas Friedman journalistic schlock, I mean. I gag every time he gets up on that hot, flat and crowded soap box in spite of the fact that he occasionally gets something right, gets somethng right, gets something right, gets something right… Oh, sorry. I forgot that I said that already 847 times. Bless his energy hogging little soul. But, in spite of your somewhat quaint Seattle-style liberal naivete (my cheap shot), I have not completely given up on you yet. Cheers
