Charlie Rose - Fareed Zakaria (May 1, 2008) $24.95 This is an outstanding discussion with a highly intelligent and informed guest. Zakaria believes the U.S. must recognize a new reality and adjust to the world where there are other large rising economic and political forces. Zakaria wants the U.S. to open its eyes, understand it cannot dictate to the world, but must try to assume its leadership role wisely. Zakaria points to China, India, Brazil, South Africa and says that with them one hundred countries have had GDP growth over four- percent per annum in the last few years. Zakaria who initially supported the U.S. operation in Iraq is highly critical of the performance. He says U.S. has done well in Afghanistan where 2.5 million refugees returned home, and poorly in Iraq where 2.5 million refugees have been created. He says that the best policy for U.S. is probably a reduced , thirty- thousand troops or so, long- term presence. In his tour of the world Zakaria makes some claims I am a bit suspicious of. He does not show much sympathy for Darfur (Only two- hundred fifty thousand killed ) and says the lack of pan- African power is one reason for the ongoing genocide. He does not seem to want to push China hard on its support for the Sudanese government. Zakaria is too in my opinion overly optimistic about two other phenomena. He downplays the danger of Radical Islam. He seems to feel Iran is going to get nuclear weapons and that they will be deterred the way the Chinese and Russians have been. He does not take into account their radical Islamic Messianic theology. They may be reasonable and they may not be. Zakaria too I believe is optimistic about the value of talking to 'Hamas' He finds elements in them willing for peace with Israel. I think he is wrong about this. I do appreciate however his recognizing the falsity of asserting a a moral equivalence between Palestinians who aim at killing Israeli civilians, and Israelis who engage in military operations to defend their own people which may regrettably cause civilian casualties. Zakaria does not place much importance on pushing for human rights in China. Trade and money , prosperity for all , a world in which all are prospering seems to be his goal. In this regard I believe his analysis a bit one- tracked. But again this was an outstanding program with much up- to- date information on the world situation. I do have one question however. Why didn't Zakaria speak to the present economic crisis which certainly threatens to put a spoke in the process of economic development his book focuses upon? |
