Even Thomas Friedman Can Get One Right Now and Then

Even Thomas Friedman Can Get One Right Now and Then
The usually insufferable Thomas Friedman of the New York Times finally figures something out. The suicide bombing attacks that Israel is enduring are part of a larger war between radical Islam ( Is there really any other kind?) and western civilization (Again, is there any other kind of civilization?).
He's been slow to figure things out, and his egotism may actually have contributed to the current state of affairs in Israel by promoting a cynical Saudi Arabian "peace plan."
Ironically, the only Arab leaders whom I've read or heard expressing any real desire to live peacefully with a Jewish state have been King Abdullah of Jordan (no surprise there, he's the most enlightened of all Arab leaders) and Libya's Muammar Quaddafi.
