Zakaria - A Real Journalist

Once a while I run into and read Fareed Zakaria's articles. They really resonate with me. The media and Republian constantly emphasize about "is economy stupid?". Certainly, that is the last straw pulled from McCain. But that is not the reason that McCain and Republican lost. Not even he is too old. The whole party runs out of any valid idea. The economy did send a shock therapy to American people - no more stupidity and insanity(I hope)! I made comments on a few blogs as "The rest world has changed rapidly. Our view toward it has still remained the same". Check out Zakaria's recent articlet titled "GOP bereft of ideas or trapped by wrong ones".

He and I have one thing in common. We both move and settle in this country. We do not have to worry about too Chinese or too Indian since we are American enough. Also we don't worry about too American either since we were transplanted from China or India. But it certainly gives me a little different way to look at America and the world as whole. This is not just Republican issue. Many American just do not get it including a lot of democrats. The problem is that we know way less of the world than we believe. That causes ignorance and arrogance at the same time. I hope that this bust of economy bubble finally makes people really think and learn.
