COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: It’s U.S. v. The Narrative in Arab-Muslim world

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: China should help save rainforests
An intergovernmental working group for saving the rainforests estimates that for about $30 billion, we could reduce deforestation in places like Brazil, Indonesia and the Congo by 25 percent by 2015. China now has $2.2 trillion in reserves. How about it, Beijing?

THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Time to halt pointless Mideast ‘peace process’
It’s time to call a halt to this dysfunctional “peace process,” which is only damaging the Obama team’s credibility.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Blessed are the peacemakers
We simply do not have the Afghan partners, the NATO allies, the domestic support, the financial resources or the national interests to justify an enlarged and prolonged nation-building effort in Afghanistan.

Richard Hanson, Grafton, N.D., letter: Diplomacy, not militarism, brings peace
When Obama claims his prize on Dec. 10, I hope he will shred the acceptance speech Friedman wrote for him and express instead America’s wish for peace through respectful diplomacy and concern for the needs of people in other nations.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Blessed are the peacemakers
“I will accept the award on behalf of the most important peacekeepers in the world for the last century — the men and women of the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps," Obama should say.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: 'Three bombs' threaten U.S., world
Today’s youth are growing up in the shadow of three bombs — any one of which could go off at any time and set in motion a truly nonlinear, radical change in the trajectory of their lives.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Anti-Obama rhetoric goes way over top
I have no problem with any of the substantive criticism of President Barack Obama from the right or left. But something very dangerous is happening. Criticism from the far right has begun tipping over into delegitimation and creating the same kind of climate here that existed in Israel on the eve of the Rabin assassination.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Support the troops by taxing gas
There is something wrong when our country is willing to consider spending more lives and treasure in Afghanistan, where winning is highly uncertain, but can’t even talk about a gasoline tax, which is win, win, win, win, win — with no uncertainty at all.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: The tragic perils of one-party democracy
Watching both the health care and climate/energy debates in Congress, it is hard not to draw the following conclusion: There is only one thing worse than one-party autocracy, and that is one-party democracy, which is what we have in America today.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: When the 'lesser of two evils' isn't enough
If this is how our “allies” are treating us in Afghanistan, after eight years, then one really has to ask not whether we can afford to lose there but whether we can afford to win there.

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: 59 is the new 30
Like millions of others, I shouted at the TV as Tom Watson's ball ran across the 18th green — heading for trouble — “STOP! STOP! STOP!” as if I personally had something at stake. Why was that?

COLUMNIST THOMAS FRIEDMAN: Teacher, can we leave now? No, not yet.
I must say, after witnessing the delight in the faces of those little Afghan girls crowded three to a desk waiting to learn, I found it very hard to write, “Let’s just get out of here.”
