If you frequent this here premier “web log,” there’s a good chance you may once or twice have read the New York Times op-ed page. You might even recognize the names of the columnists, who every day spout the most conventionally wise of the conventional wisdom. This is a feature that is dedicated to these folks, highlighting one line that is either funny, ridiculous, strange, or actually intelligent or well-written.
Today\’s is yet another from Thomas Friedman, who in his column today, \”Freud and the Middle East\” (oh brother), writes:
Just as there is a little bit of West Bank “Jewish settler” in almost every Israeli, there is a little bit of the caliphate dream in almost every Sunni.
By the way, in case you were wondering what Freud has to do with anything in the column, the answer is nothing.
