Friedman Gets Buzzed Roger L Simon blog Jeff Jarvis fisks Tom Friedman's column today and reminds us to keep our priorities straight into the bargain: We have entered an era of apology. Democrats wanted Bush to apologize as Dick Clarke did. Reporters at the last press conference wanted Bush to confess to mistakes and apologize for them. Friedman wants Bush to apologize for what happened in that prison. Fine. But it's just a rhetorical charm bracelet. Forced apologies get you just as far as forced friendships. No, it's time instead for everyone -- Bush, Kerry, Iraqi leaders, European leaders, the U.N., Arab leaders -- to get priorities straight and remember that our priorities are alligned. If we let the stupidity of some guys in an Iraqi prison derail the cause of democracy and stability in Iraq over the niceties of friendship and apologies, then we're all a bunch of hopeless fools. Jarvis, stop making sense! rogerlsimon.com
