I find his stuff very uneven, obviously for reasons dissimilar to yours, but this one gets me thinking. I've got to factor this element into my thinking now. Yes, I like this one too. Curious the imprimatur that Friedman seems to have. When the Israeli papers say, this is a strategic choice, you don't believe it, when Debka lays out the strategy, you certainly don't believe it, but when Friedman says it's a strategic choice... To my way of thinking, Friedman is still flinching from the necessary conclusions of his own argument. You are not going to be able to negotiate with the strategic choice of suicide-bombing without rewarding it, and we all have seen the results of trying to negotiate with Arafat, whose current position is indistinguishable from Hamas' anyway. Therefore the road to any political solution must run through a regime change, in Ramallah every bit as much as in Baghdad.
