The show was rerun three times on different PBS stations in the Bay area today. Friedman was worth watching. I thought Kissinger was more interesting, as he is trying to think about what the international system will be post-Iraq. Friedman is too facile these days.

Friedman was worth watching. I go hot and cold on Friedman, probably inversely correlated to Nadine's hot and cold. He is in some sort of hard spot, perhaps between the proverbial rock and hard place. I don't know. And I don't think there is any way to know exactly what it is. But he seems to go strong one way one day and the other another day. At first I thought it was admirable, an ability to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. But, as an op ed columnist, he has to resolve them some way. I haven't seen that.
