Until a couple of weeks ago, Friedman seemed to have vanished from the NYT op-ed page, and I fantasized for a time that he had been quietly canned, perhaps to atone for the dismally misguided choice the paper had made in putting Bill Kristol there. Though too good to be true, it made sense to me that since two of their "liberals," Friedman and Dowd, were clearly unhinged irrelevancies, perhaps a search was on for someone with something to contribute to the page.
Alas, it was not to be. The Foghorn Leghorn of the of the chickenhawk class is back, and apparently better than ever. Perhaps he should reissue his unreadable claptrap, "The World is Flat," under the new title, "The World Ought to Be Flattened."
It never ceases to amaze me that, among the Serious, each lost war begs for another, while among normal Americans, the warmongers look like bigger idiots with each passing day.
Maybe Friedman's alter ego will show up (again?) in the comments to set us all straight....
