"My interpretation is that he was addressing his point to the cynics in the audience to show them another alternative." Ay, there's the rub. It's your interpretation vs. my factually based assertions. My assertion is that Friedman critically needed this "cynic" with a distorted view of reality so that his speculative hypothesis would work. Without the "cynic" & his distorted views of reality, the speculative hypothesis falls completely apart. It's absolutely useless. And as I factually proved previously, Friedman openly admitted that another critical aspect of his hypothesis was severely flawed..... Friedman stated..... "Where did Bush's passion for making the Arab world safe for democracy come from? Though he mentioned this theme before the war....... He wants us to completely forget that Bush did discuss that theme before this hypothesis takes place. Why? Because his hypothesis falls apart if you don't forget this "fact". This significant, albeit discarded "fact" along with the "cynic's" distorted perception of reality renders his hypothesis useless. So that other alternative is actually an alternate, albeit "distorted" reality, when real facts are considered.
