    Tom Friedman's latest column is incoherent free associative dithering even by the standards of Tom Friedman's columns.

        My conversation with a cabbie in Riyadh makes be believe we are about six months away from a decisive turning point in the possibility of a change in US-Saudi relations. And also, too, Iran.

        Would love to know how much of the house of Saud's money Friedman has taken.

        🤔Given that he's married to a heiress, IIRC, at most, it's not much. I presume it's more access to the occasional VIP Interview column...

        What he seems to be trying to say is that a Saddam-style brutal pragmatist who keeps religious extremists in check is the least bad option. Ok, but, gee, I wonder what early 2003 Tom Friedman would think of that argument...

        Three Pulitzer Prizes, a National Book Award, many best-sellers and respected as a "thought leader." When dunderheads are this celebrated, mediocrity becomes exalted.
