It seems a bit lazy of Friedman to interview his daughter's roommate. Why not include other sources? At least he mentioned the relationship.

I don't begrudge Sharef for using the connection. It's another reminder of how important networking is.

Hah!

When i was younger and trying to educate myself into a higher class, I read a couple of his books. The only good one was From Beirut to Jerusalem, which was published in 1989. Everything after that was just crappy analogies.

I really don't understand how an "expert" in Middle East affairs could think that the USA going to war in Iraq was a good idea.
