[Tom] Friedman had actual reason toknow better. He was, after all, the man who wrote the truly-fantastic From Beirut to Jerusalem... Most importantly, his book included first-hand accounts and harsh criticism of the war – the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982 – that is perhaps the closest historical analogue to the Iraq War (the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan would be a close second). [At my old place, I posted a number of passages from FBTJ that are downright creepy in their similarities to Iraq.]
