Thomas Friedman, using another great metaphor:
"Moreover, right now we are "Mr. Big" in Iraq, soaking up all the popular anger. But the minute we’re gone, Iran becomes "Mr. Big" and the age-old tensions between Iraqi Arab Shiites and Iranian Persian Shiites will surface. Iran and Moktada al-Sadr will be at each other’s throats."No, he's not really making a "Sex and the City" analogy. But I think he just gave Maureen Dowd an idea...
