Friedman isn't a "pure" liberal. He was for the Iraq invasion for instance.

Taro,

But maybe John has an opinion here, he is a frequent NYT (and their Op-Eds) reader.

Friedman actually leans left, but unlike the rest of the New York Times, he is not a partisan Democrat. That's why, even if I disagree with him more than I agree with him, his columns can be refreshing. His issues are not framed through the GOP vs. Dem arguments.

Joe

Given that Friedman leans right,...

???? All news to me! Frankly speaking, I don't think so.


Friedman has been a hawk on Iraq [until recently] and also Israel. That makes him a conservative in my book.
