Id be glad to write & think this poorly if the Times would pay me what it pays him (but I could only stand it for awhile): LONDON — An existential struggle is taking place in the Arab world today. But is it ours or is it theirs? Before we step up military action in Iraq and Syria, that’s the question that needs answering. What concerns me most about President Obama’s decision to re-engage in Iraq is that it feels as if it’s being done in response to some deliberately exaggerated fears — fear engendered by YouTube videos of the beheadings of two U.S. journalists — and fear that ISIS, a.k.a., the Islamic State, is coming to a mall near you. How did we start getting so afraid again so fast? Didn’t we build a Department of Homeland Security? **** Please read the whole thing before you go off shaking your head..... It really is that bad. nytimes/2014/09/17/opinion/thomas-friedman-isis-and-the-arab-world.html
