Review title: A calm, balanced look at current events, pay attention
Product review: I have to say at the start that I do not agree with everything Zakaria puts forth in this book. There are some pretty big claims made without a whole lot to back them up. However, Zakaria is not a "political scholar" in the way that someone like Benjamin Barber is, so he shouldn't necessarily by held to the same standard.Zakaria deserved to be read and listened to because of his approach. He has contributed to the discussion of American foreign policy without mindlessly regurgitating rhetoric from either side of the debate. You don't get the sense that he is a Republican or conservative, but at the same time he's willing to give Bush credit when he thinks Bush deserves it. This is a refreshing take on the subject of democracy and one that should be read by everyone concerned with the subject, regardless of their political beliefs.
