Friedman on the Nile: shallow as usual

First, why does he leave from his dispatches from the Middle East that he can't order a Falafil sandwich without using the services for interpretors? Why, Mr. Friedman?  Secondly, he has been in Egypt for a mere day, and is already confidently informing you about what the Egyptian people want and feel (and yesterday, his interpretor made a mistake in the figure of $70 billion (he reported $17).  But he is only obsessed with how this will affect Israel, and said:  "They are not inspired by “down with” America or Israel."  Oh, they are. They are chanting daily against US and Israel and are referring to Mubarak and Sulayman as "agents" of Israel and US.  But maybe your interpretor was having sandwich.
