      <H2 class="title">Friedman: Keep Cheney on for another term.</H2>
      <P>In his New York Times column yesterday, Tom Friedman said that if Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is elected president, he should make Dick Cheney his vice president in order to more successfully “<A href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/18/opinion/18friedman.html?ex=1353042000&en=ed7a7d5106b09ef3&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss" linkindex="7">coerce</A>” Iran:</p> <BLOCKQUOTE><P>I have no idea who is going to win the Democratic presidential nomination, but lately <STRONG>I’ve been wondering whether, if it is Barack Obama, he might want to consider keeping Dick Cheney on as his vice president. </STRONG>[…]</p> <P>And that brings me back to the Obama-Cheney ticket: When it comes to how best to deal with Iran, each has half a policy — but if you actually put them together, <STRONG>they’d add up to an ideal U.S. strategy for Iran. Dare I say, they complete each other.</STRONG> […]</p> <P>In sum, Mr. Obama’s instinct is right — but <STRONG>he needs to dial down his inner Jimmy Carter a bit when it comes to talking to Iran, and dial up a bit more inner Dick Cheney.</STRONG></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
