Friedman was wonderful telling us about his on-the-ground experiences in Beruit and Israel. He's something less than wonderful telling us how things should change in the ME now. He seems to want to try all the things that have already failed. I think he wants to go to his speeches and parties and not get booed simply because he's an American, and so picks strategies that will make us lovable. Problem is, being lovable is not a rational goal right now.
