Thomas Friedman War of Ideas.

In response to Thomas Friedman's op-ed column War of Ideas, Part 5 in today's New York Times I sent the following letter to the editors:
In his op-ed column of January 22, 2004 Thomas Friedman attributes things going "sour" in Iraq to the "Bush approach". He believes so firmly the Iraq war was a good idea, he is unable even to consider that we are doing as well as can be expected and, just perhaps, it was a bad idea in the first place. Can Mr. Friedman describe a possible scenario in Iraq which would cause him to admit he was wrong about the pros and cons of going to war? Or will he always blame someone else and insist that we are failing because we are just not doing it right?
