Actually, as unclearly indicated at the bottom of the Guardian posting, that's Tom Friedman's regular bi-weekly New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/31/opinion/31FRIE.html">. I bother to mention this only because I went to see why the Guardian seemed to be writing about Friedman's piece, and if they credited him, only to find that it was the same piece, semi-credited, in the sense that it says "New York Times" at the bottom of the Guardian posting, but no mention that it's his regular column. And if they'd made that clearer, and you'd therefore had identified it as such, I wouldn't have bothered to go through all this.... :-)
