Funny how he nails it on the head, and then declares, it isn't necessary

I admire Tom Friedman's knowledge of foreign affairs.

However, he appears to be conflicted as to the upcoming war himself, if not about the war then about the methodology. I admit my hesitancy at moments.

Bush's strength is that he has positively identified a principle and he hasn't wavered. If he is conflicted I've seen no evidence to that effect.

While I have respect for Friedman, for my own positions, and for those of some others, I have ultimate respect for a man who faces a tough challenge in the face of overwhelming dissent, knowing the principle at work is a righteous one.

>Afghanistan will be far harder to rebuild than Iraq.

We disagree here, and that's what it all comes down to, IMO. It's the only reason you're against the war and I'm not.

The administration agrees with you.
