But of course, Clinton never did.

Nadine,
It's the right war and the right administration in my opinion. Sorry Tom. Many of us brought up with liberal backgrounds find war so ugly, that we revert to pacifism or anti-bullyism which applies to the US in terms of size and i am sure in intent to the left. But when the underdog is saddam, i must say this is not just a football game. A 45-0 football game is boring, but this is no game and the quicker we win, the less bloodshed there will be. mike

Tom Friedman is so conflicted about this war that he's probably just relieved it finally got started. His whole last column was a kind of wail - "It's the right war! But the wrong administration, dammit! Clinton should have done this!"


I saw Friedman on Oprah earlier this week. He is locked and loaded, full tilt boogie at war with Bush. He sounds as mad at Bush now as he was a the Saudi's after 9-11. He is off to Europe to find out 'why they hate us'.

I expect Friedman to start sounding like Krugman for a while.

Paul

Agree.

I thought Friedman was a wonderful guy to read as respects the 1980s ME.

He now seems a bit frazzled, incoherent, a little looser and more frayed at the edges. Perhaps being so close to the scene for so long has clouded his objectivity, I don't know. I do know that I rarely read anymore.
