  Loving the 'stache and living in the past

  Tom Friedman's observations reflect a pervasive U.S. world view that as the victor in WW2 they should still be benefiting from the spoils.  The fact that Jon Rynn finds Friedman's observations a "good nugget" reinforces the point - the U.S. is living in the past and still has not faced the fact that post WW2 affluence has come and gone.  The constant repetition from the media and politicians that America is the "greatest" or "freest" has masked the truth for so long that even now, when confronted with the truth Friedman says "How can this be?
