Yeah, I don't think you (or the author of that article) understands what Friedman thought or would have thought in this respect. Friedman, if nothing else, was a proponent of restraint. At the end of the day it is about inflation. For the Fed to back out of this situation without creating a huge inflationary problem is going to quite a balancing act. Whether they can manage it, I don't know. But I don't think there is any way in hell Friedman would have supported QE2. The comparison with Japan in your link is sort of ridiculous; those circumstances were vastly different.
