6. I bought it to add to my collection! The front cover gave me hope...
...and some of the article is good (I haven't read the whole thing yet), but some of it is Fareed Zakaria jumping the Gun a bit.

After giving a bit of history of how we got to where we are today in the fist 3 paragraphs, he starts the 4th paragraph by saying

"...In any event, it is time to stop bashing George W. Bush. We must begin to think about life after Bush—a cheering prospect for his foes, a dismaying one for his fans (however few there may be at the moment). In 19 months he will be a private citizen, giving speeches to insurance executives...."

While I agree that "...We must begin to think about life after Bush..." I think i's WAY TOO EARLY to "stop bashing George W. Bush..."

Maybe Fareed hasn't spent enough time here in the old U.S. of A., because he seems to have forgotten that in 1990-91, our Government deployed our Military, fought a War and and declared victory in less than 19 months!

He can still do a lot more damage in his remaining time if we let up now.
