Fareed Zakaria: Cushioning Our Descent into a Post-American World

Fareed zakariaNewswk 030909 radical islam cropped2Nothing surprising here -- "Post-American," and therefore willing to "live with" radical Islam as a "fact of life," Fareed Zakaria now takes up space in the Washington Post excusing Ahmadinejad (and taking the opportunity to bash John McCain in the process):
McCain reveals a startling ignorance about the Iranian regime when he argues, as in his speech, that it "spends its people's precious resources not on roads, or schools, or hospitals, or jobs that benefit all Iranians -- but on funding violent groups of foreign extremists who murder the innocent."  While Tehran does fund militant groups, one of the keys to Ahmadinejad's popularity has been his large-scale spending on social programs for the poor. 
Let's take this last sentence bit by bit. 
visit Boker Tov now for a visual analysis.... seriously. Using the word militant groups is insulting to anyone who knows someone who died because of a terrorist attack. It disgusts me that this guy is allowed on TV and considered impartial and objective for an American audience.
