Support diversity (and dictators, too).

Friedman’s insight is incredible. He’s 100% correct when he says that the people and governments of the Middle East should practice greater tolerance and diversity. Diversity is really the root of democracy. Let’s pray to God(s) that leaders like King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia will grow tolerant enough to prop up intolerant, repressive, archaic monarchies and dictators that bribe fundamentalists in order to stay in power.
