In the specific quotes I just posted, what do you think is inaccurate? I'm looking to be cheered up I think it's all inaccurate, a sweeping generalization of doom-and-glooming by someone who is simply not a qualified observer of the Middle East. Thomas Friedman, who has at least over twenty years experience in the Middle East, and who took himself to Iraq to make his observations (as far as I know, Maureen Dowd is still sitting in New York), strikes me as a far, far more qualified observer. And Thomas Friedman says the situation is mixed, fluid and complicated, with both good and bad news. Which is about what I hear from all the other sources who seem to me to know what they are talking about, and are more interested in figuring out the situation than in scoring political points.
