Tom Friedman came out in the Times today declazring that the US should decrease the reward on bin-Laden and Zarqawi to 1 penny and an autographed picture of GW Bush. I think this is a great idea. As he says, the only thing increasing the reward serves to do is to increase the value of bin-Laden in the eyes of the crazies. If $25 million isn't enough, then nothing is.
Additiomally, Friedman met with Russert this weekend. He sounded pretty optimistic regarding Iraq's elections. Even France and Germany are finally siding with the Americans. Is this good? Hopefully this will allow others to risk their lives, rather than just our brave soldiers. Maybe even the chickenshit French and Germans will decide that fighting is in thier best interests.
