Thomas Friedman on Syria, the US and War

If you’ve not heard of Thomas Friedman you should know who he is. He’s a journalist that has published a number of must reads: The World is Flat and Longitudes and Attitudes as well as a really interesting television story on global warming and electric cars: Addicted to Oil (its on again on August 14th)

But anyways… check out the Fresh Air interview from August 1 with Terry Gross. Most notable and disturbing was this quote from Thomas Friedman, “(Hezbollah) hates Israel more than they love their own kids… that is such a travesty.”

There’s more interesting things he has to say about the tragedy of the Accidental War as the Economist calls it.
