...Giuliani was right about Arafat, who proved the most unworthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in history. And the nerve of that Saudi, in effect blaming the U.S. for 9/11--a month after 15 Saudi terrorists were involved in the attacks, directed by the Saudi Osama bin Laden! Thomas Friedman, no hothead, wrote a column offering "three cheers for Mayor Rudy Giuliani" for stiffing the prince. At the time, I was cheering too.

...These three characters make up a kind of redemptive trinity for Jamie, and together they form the emotional core of the show.
