Typical Friedman Column. Good analysis. No answer. Well, we don't have one either!

Nah, it's like a column on the US that asked Tom Daschle's opinion on morale, and ignored the existence of Republicans as best it could. He's talking about how things look from the Labor side of things, which is why we keep hearing about the "psychology of shock". On the Likud side, they talk about "fighting to win the Oslo War, to make the Palestinians give up their fantasy". But you won't hear it in Tom Friedman.

And most Israelis do not support Mitzna's plan, which is a unilateral withdrawal under fire. If they did support it, they would vote for him.

Lindy, Nadine:

I read Tom Friedman (we had another esteemed Friedman oped this morning, much to my delight) as suffering from Rabin nostalgia. You can almost hear him say, Rabin could have straightened this mess out. He would have implemented the wise Left agenda with the warrior strength of the Right.

It was not analysis as much as lament.
