Author Fareed Zakaria criticizes American political culture for ignoring global issues, and for focusing on short-term political benefits at the expense of long-term prosperity.
—–
The rise of other nations need not mean a decline of the U.S., says Zakaria. He foresees a future where the U.S. no longer dominates the global economy, geopolitics and culture, and it needn’t be seen as a negative development, he believes; our nation needs to learn to understand other nations and find a way to thrive in this rapidly shifting dynamic.
Join us as Newsweek International’s editor shares his insights on how our nation can thrive in the coming millennium – The Commonwealth Club of California
Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International and author of The Post American World and The Future of Freedom.

Americans are …
Americans are brainless or dumb beyond imagination
The egotistical Bush bankrupts this country by taking us to unnecessary war.
The only interest Americans have is to please Zionists at all costs.
The Zionists have looted the American banking system, and yet America is still sending billions to Israel.
The western counties are all slaves of the Zionist, and the media house propaganda because the Zionist controls our corrupt politicians.

@mynameisabag If I can be the king, fine; otherwise, I’ll stick with our broken oligarchy.

@tristramshandy3 …
@tristramshandy3 Yes, we are responsible, not for Bush’s or Obama’s actions but for electing them and for allowing a culture of ignorance to grow within the political system! The government is still responsible for the mistakes they spend their time and effort to carry out, we are merely to blame for allowing such stupidity to exist–that is a reflection unto WE the people. If you fail to see how governments are responsible for their actions you might as well give up democracy and ask for a king

Yo! Obama is …
Yo! Obama is neither the problem nor the solution. This is not a question of democrat v republican it is a matter of rationality v irrationality. When you invade a country whos GDP is less than your defense budget for example you must either have some really compelling evidence or you have alternate motives. Those alternate motives are why this country is so up. America is a corporation where the CEO’s are more concerned with getting THEIR share than running the company.

@mynameisabag stop blaming someone else- it is WE the people who are dumb and are responsible. Blaming government is absolutely ridiculous. Have a great evening

@etano1 I just want to correct you on one thing. In 10 years america will be bankrupt, but not because of “tax slavery” but because of government stupidity. Our government is a dumb when it comes to money.

@San47di No, a …
@San47di No, a stimulus package requires borrowing money for the purpose of delaying americans from feeling the pain they earned from their heedless spending during the stock market and real estate bubbles. Yes, obama IS positive change but only in the smallest of ways but he does not even come close to what we REALLY need. Hes fundamentally the same as his predecessors. Listen to some economists like Tom Woods or Peter Schiff.

@mynameisabag …
@mynameisabag That’s the way it might “appear” to you, but I look at the far-reaching effects. Let’s see whether you still see it that way in another year. We Must give it time. No one can turn it around within the short time spand he’s had.
June 14th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
@etano1 Wow, how ” …
@etano1 Wow, how “mythical” you are!! Obama has been in office less then 1.5 years & already you’re accusing him of murder??! LOL Get a Life & stop listening to Faux fake News & the airhead Sarah Palins of the World!1

@San47di I wish I …
@San47di I wish I shared your optimism but I just see aesthetic change nothing meaningful. In the economic world Bush is Hoover and Obama is FDR, they are doing the exact same thing over again and what hoover and roosevelt did back then created and prolonged the great depression. Just as Fareed said we must be willing to accept some pain to move forward, we as a nation cant so we borrow and borrow and borrow, we are getting fat without even paying for our food!

@etano1 You are totally delusional and extremely ill-informed.

@UTubeHelsinki …
@UTubeHelsinki Indeed! But no respect for the evil nazi democrats who caused this turmoil and are destroying the country with crushing debt and genocide of the unborn. Nothing is sacred to socialist saboteurs who destroy freedom. Democrats want an end to free speech. That is why they are passing laws against free speech over the radio waves.
June 14th, 2010 at 1:20 pm
We are fat and dumb …
We are fat and dumb and arrogant because democrats have dumbed down the schools by forcing failing kids to be passed and teaching communism/socialism works. Democrats are destroying the US via crushing debt, tax slavery,genocide against the unborn. In 10 years the US will be totally bankrupt because of oppressive taxes. Democrats just want to be babied by the government I vote conservative because not EVERYBODY can live on welfare-off those who WORK for a living

@San47di Obama …
@San47di Obama gave 100s of millions to terrorist Hamas to reward them for murdering Israeli men, women and children over years with terrorist attacks. Obama is now sabotaging the economy by enslaving the workers to support fat government and support the lazy people who don’t want to work. Obama also murders millions of unborn babies-dispoportionately black-with abortion. He is a devil and the U.S. debt will destroy the US economy soon because of him.
