Thanks for posting this, Doug -- you beat me to the punch.

Reading Friedman's ravings, I was reminded of WWII UK Air Chief Marshal
Arthur "Bomber" Harris, who, as the London Times noted, "was a fanatical
believer in carpet bombing of civilians."  I believe that Bomber Harris
said his aim was to reduce German cities to rubble and then to keep
bombing "to make the rubble bounce."  A man after Friedman's heart.
