>>Friedman is just mailing it in.

I don't read the Israeli news sources so don't know whether Friedman is just saying what everybody else says, but this particular column is a collection of observations that nobody in the US is making yet.

I was not aware - not that I was trying to find the information out - that the suicide bombers in Iraq are Sunnis. Are they also Wahabbis? Or ordinary Sunnis? Do we even know who they are?

Are they associated with Zarqawi? Or Ba'athists?

It would be useful to know.

The fact that they are Sunnis rules out Iranian involvement, and given that our next target appears to be Iran, these facts may be inconvenient.

But facts really should not be inconvenient.
