Tom Friedman's must-read

The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: A Day to Remember

As far as I'm concerned, today's op-ed by Tom Friedman is a must-read piece. He has done an outstanding job, I think, of providing a balanced view of the war in Iraq and the coming election for more than a year. (In essence, he supported the war, turned on the Administration over its execution, and supported holding the vote at the end of January in hopes that it would set in relief the true agenda of the insurgents--to stave off freedom.)

His reflections on what happened Sunday, why we all can and should feel good about it, and how it rightly changes the focus from the Bush Administration to the Iraqi people themselves are articulate and forceful.
