It's official

Tom Friedman, New York Times Bush booster, Iraq War apologist, and shill for the multi national corporations who are raping the planet and screwing us, has lost what little mind he had left. Anyone who advocates a Obama/Cheney ticket should be sedated and not allowed anywhere near a newspaper column ever again. I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it.

I read the editorial on the way to work today. It was definitely tongue-in-cheek, but it was suggesting that Obama should have some carrot to go with the stick in the event that he should win the presidency and have to deal with Iran.

My problem with it was severalfold. For starters, Friedman lost a whole lot of credibility when he came out as a major cheerleader for the war in Iraq; he somehow came to the conclusion that invading Iraq would somehow benefit Israel. He clearly has an poor understanding of history. Any sabrerattling regarding Iran helps the oppressive regime there.

He seems not to understand the lesson to bet gotten from the Cold War. In the end, detente was the smart move; we protected our interests with agreements with the Soviet Union, and let them collapse of their own problems and contradictions. I strongly suspect the same approach will work for Iran.

Glad to hear it was tongue in cheek, but that still qualifies as another goofy-dumb comment from Friedman; kinda like his theory that no two countries that both have a McDonald's could ever possibly go to war with each other. This would be because a country that has so highly evolved to the point of having a McDonald's would be too economically intertwined with other fast food nations and would find a better way I suppose...

So forget Darth Cheney, we gotta lobby to get some happy meals into Iran, pronto.

Dr. MVM, dear. I don't want to publicly humiliate you ... but the teacher in me can't help but say, "Get out your dictionary, dear, and look up the word "nauseous." It means that YOU nauseate OTHERS. I don't think, that's what you meant, is it? The word you were looking for might be "nauseated" as in "I'm getting 'nauseated' just thinking about it." Don't be embarrassed. Lots of people erroneously mix up the two words. My mother-in-law mixes them up, argues with Mr. Ether about it, and then ends up saying the 73 year old woman's version of "WHATEVER!" But I thought you might want to know. No, no ... don't thank me for sparing you future embarrassment. Correcting people is all in a day's work for me.
