Where the Buck Stops
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

Fairly good Friedman column. A little too cutsey with the Truman comparisons, the contemporary parallels with Truman's divided advice, etc. But the point is made. Looks as if the Bush folk are still stuck in some sort of on-the-one-hand and on-the-other-hand. We'll see if those disputes get settled. And if Bush picks the right path.

Speaking of the "right", the Times has an interesting article on Ralph Reed's attempts to pull Jewish support for Israel from the Democratic party. In that light, Friedman's comment in his column about the political loyalties of Jewish leaders moving toward Bush, versus the loyalties of the non leadership staying with the Dems was kind of interesting. It was just a passing observation but was there.
