Friedman, New York Times columnist and author of "The Lexus and the Olive Tree," sounded refreshingly honest after winning his third Pulitzer Prize. He is quoted as saying, "I've covered the Middle East during war. I've covered it during peace. But now I'm covering it in the war after the peace, and it's a whole new world. ... I'm disoriented. ... I'm speechless. I don't know what to think." E&P writer Alicia Mundy further quotes him as saying, "It's one of the few times," he admitted, "I don't know what to say." He repeated the word 'disoriented' several times, referring to himself, other journalists, and veteran diplomats." It must be particularly unnerving for Friedman to ignore the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians, for example. Mundy writes that "It's an unpleasant irony: Friedman's first Pulitzer, awarded in 1983 for international reporting, was for coverage of Ariel Sharon's destruction of the Sabra and Chatilla camps in Lebanon. Friedman earned his second Pulitzer in 1988 in the same category." In other words, when you're covering the Sharon Massacre beat, i.e. Israel, how much slack can you give the Old War Criminal/Terrorist before your own sanity comes into question? Not everybody buys Friedman's party line, however. "If the rest of the world is turning to Tom Friedman, his teen-agers aren't," she writes. They don't read his columns, and he doesn't expect them to." Smart kids. Maybe they all drives Lexuses (or is it Lexi?) in honor of his globalist tirade "The Lexus and the Olive Tree," a disingenuous rant on the "benefits" of globalization. (See Book Review: The Lexus and the Olive Tree Mundy concludes that "after seeing so much of the Middle East debacle, there is one thing he insists on: 'I want them to be aware every single day how lucky they are to be living in America." He should have added -- especially when the old man is a mouthpiece for the Government-Media.
