Friedman Update

In a previous entry, I presented Glenn Greenwald's criticism of Thomas Friedman and essentially agreed with it. However, I have since learned that Friedman apparently no longer supports our involvement in Iraq. For he wrote in his August 4, 2006 column: "Whether for Bush reasons or Arab reasons, democracy is not emerging in Iraq, and we can’t throw more good lives after good lives."

Some might say it's a case of too little too late. But I say better late than never.
