    "DISORDER AND DREAMS IN [COUNTRY IN THE NEWS]"

    Last week's events in [country in the news] were truly historic, although we may not know for years or even decades what their final meaning is. What's important, however, is that we focus on what these events mean [on the ground/in the street/to the citizens themselves]. The [media/current administration] seems too caught up in [worrying about/dissecting/spinning] the macro-level situation to pay attention to the important effects on daily life. Just call it missing the [desert for the sand/fields for the wheat/battle for the bullets].

    Etc.

    The article is from 2004. How long has Friedman been writing the same article? 30 years? Longer?
