This is going to drive LindyBill and a few others crazy but I think Friedman is right. Bush has done a terrible, terrible job of selling the war on Iraq. No, there were two ways to go at this. Win goes nuts about "War Marketing" but it is the job of the Prez to sell it. Wilson, FDR, and Johnson had to "Sell" the public on their respective wars. Wilson and Johnson had a tough time, FDR had the Japanese to do it for him. I watched and listened to Hitchens do it the way Friedman wants. The problem with that approach is that is does not work if you want the UN support, and we decided to go after that support.
