Thomas Friedman asks our political

Thomas Friedman asks our political leaders to grow up. He writes, "Look, in the wake of 9/11, I would never rule out any kind of attack. That would be foolhardy. But I'm no more interested in indicting the Bush team for failing to respond to an unspecific warning about a possible terrorist attack before 9/11 than I'm interested in having the vice president and F.B.I. director warn us about the certainty of an unspecified attack sometime in the future." Perhaps it is foolhardy, but I hope these calls for reason are heard by Democrats and Republicans alike in Washington.
