Worried Optimism on Iraq

"Friedman's first rule of Middle East reporting: What people tell you in private is irrelevant. All that matters is what they will defend in public. And when I see Iraqis defending our shared aspirations — with both their words and their lives — my optimism will know no bounds and every glass will look full."

Thomas Friedman is right on the money again and this column is written with unusual passion. Keep at it, Thomas!
