SOMETIMES TOM FRIEDMAN IS RIGHT
I am not a fan of Thomas Friedman, NY TIMES Op Ed writer, but sometimes he gets it right, and when he does, simple fairness requires that we acknowledge that.
I'm no fan of Tom Friedman as a pundit (although, as you observed, he did very well on this column). He was, however, a great journalist in his day. His "From Beirut to Jerusalem" stands up well over the years. Maybe it's not fair to expect any columnist to have something to say twice a week on schedule. Barry
