Nation-creating is all there really is–inside the Gap: “■’What Were They Thinking?’ op-ed by Thomas L. Friedman, New York Times, 7 October 2005, p. A31.

Friedman’s larger point is also key: we’re doing nation-creating in Iraq, not rebuilding. …

It is crucial for us to remember this: we will create nations in the Gap, not rebuild them. …”
