examples:


"To the Editor:

Thomas L. Friedman's assertion (column, Sept. 18) that "France wants America to fail in Iraq" is akin to saying that someone who separates a drunken driver from his car keys doesn't want him to get home.

France's opposition to the war in Iraq might have been based in part on a desire to be a counterbalance to American hegemony. But it was also based on skepticism about American claims regarding the imminent threat that Iraq posed — claims that have since proved to be hollow.

France wants the United States to return to a foreign policy based on the ideals that George W. Bush articulated in his campaign when he said: "If we're an arrogant nation, they'll resent us. If we're a humble nation but strong, they'll welcome us."

So do a large number of American citizens.

1. Friedman is a dunderhead.

'nuff said

[GainesT1958]

2. We might also add...

That we should ask the editors of "MWO" to proclaim him "Media Whore of the Month"! :D

AND...that Paul Wolfowitz may just find him to be a useful "bathroom assistant"! :eyes:

3. The good news folks

is this is happening all over the country. The letters to the editor are not pro-bush. Even Time magazine was full of anti-bush letters. I do believe the tide has turned.....

4. Why does the Screw York Times let this 5th columnist lie?

If Tom of Finland Friedman loves Likud so much, why doesn't he move to Israel and stay there? It's so obvious his loyalty is with Likud over America!
