theweaselkingA Baghdad native demolishes American neo-con opinion writer Thomas Friedman.
Friedman, supposedly an "internation affairs expert", has a long history of foot-in-mouth disease. This is just a *special* kind of literary takedown.
"It is always amusing to see a Jewish American journalist speak in the name of Sunni Arabs. When Sunni Arabs, at this point, hesitate to speak in a representative way about other Sunni Arabs, it is nice to know Thomas L. Friedman feels he can sum up the feelings of the 'Sunni Arab world' in so many words. His arrogance is exceptional."
Go. Read the rest. Go now.
