Read other letters about this article
I have not read through all these letters, but just want to thank Glenn for these revisionist articles. I was once a Friedman fan. I suffer from what I call, the "Superman" complex: the need to try to fix everything that is wrong with the world. That's pretty much the reason that I did not protest the war, (if not exactly supporting it, I guess I am revising myself, if I want to be honest). Even if, in the end, Iraq becomes everything the US hoped it would become, how can we say that there was no other way to achieve the same end? I desperately hope that the Obama administration can throw out the foreign policy of the 20th century (big sticks) and come up with something new. I, like many Americans perhaps, have this fear that, if we let down our guard, we are going to get stomped on. But Obama has my support if he tries. I won't be relying on Tom Friedman as a guide.
