What I can’t fathom here is Friedman’s basic conflation of religion with ethics. The reality is that religiosity is most often inversely correlated with morality. His big solution for our challenges is no solution at all. Just ask the Trump voting evangelicals!

Looks like the treasonous slob is getting the US into a war with Venezuela because a) President Maduro is seen as an enemy of Trump’s and b) Venezuela is oil rich but militarily weak. That doesn’t mean Americans will necessarily succeed - see Vietnam and Iraq. Another catastrophe in the making.
