Abu Aardvark brilliantly diagnoses America's image problems in the Middle East: you see, it is all because Thomas Friedman does not appear regularly on AlJazeera. Having proudly met Friedman, Abu Aardvark urges Friedman to do more of Al-Jazeera's shows. Oh, ya. If only Arabs see more of Friedman, they would just be enamored with him. Having to wait for the Arabic translation, and then to listen to his complex ideas, and sophisticated phraseology, Arabs would just not be able to resist Friedman's intellectual charm. With this logic, if Friedman is given an hour of Arabic TV a week, Arab masses would all be chanting "Long Live Bush; Long Live Occupation."
