As Friedman would put it: Oh. My. God.

Never knew the droll Rose had some a streak of self parody. Priceless.

Which Item Does Not Belong on the List?

A cheerleader for the war in Iraq sets his site on Iran. Friedman's arguments presuppose that America should exercise controlling power over the Middle East. He and other imperialist empire builders find this a compelling ambition. Others wonder why.

Friedman notes two sides in his new, for now, cold war: America and its Middle East allies versus America’s Middle East non-allies.

I’m reminded of the classic IQ test that gave a list of items and asked you to remove the one that did not belong with the others. I assume that Mr. Friedman didn’t get past that question successfully.
