Thomas Friedman is completely discredited. Reposting his latest drivel will not change that. If you want to post a Friedman, make it Milton.

No we send money to Saudi Arabia because its a mutually beneficial arrangement. Describing it as an addiction is silly. Whether or not we confronted them more, we would still send them money for oil (or if we didn't we would buy from people that currently sell to others, and they would buy from Saudi, and the net effect would be just about nil, if we could actually pull that maneuver off and wanted to, otherwise we would still be buying from Saudi)
