Optional-Ed

Tapped's Matthew Yglesias (the one without the mole) reads the weekend op-ed columns so you don't have to (except for the one that you should):

• Nicholas Kriostof. The real problem in Iraq is unnamed liberals who have no power.
• David Brooks. Globalization is good!
• George Will. Shockingly, most academics are liberals.
• Michael Kinsley. Can we start condescending now?
• David Broder. Cities are getting screwed.
• Jim Hoagland. What's an unjustified killing or two between friends?
• Maureen Dowd. I hate my family.
• Thomas Friedman. Maybe the people who've messed everything up so far will suddenly turn out to be brilliant.

The Op-Ed You Actually Need To Read

• Farouz Farzami. Farouz Farzami on the Iranian reform movement.
