First off, Zakaria is not an Arab (you find out from where he is). Second, he was supporting the war on Iraq (because he bought the WMD nonsense). Your ignorance is showing!

I have met Fareed Zakaria. He is not a hot- head, by any means, nor is he by any means anti- American. His perspective might be called "balance of power realism", which used to be considered a conservative perspective on foreign affairs. His discomfort with the neoconservatives is that we have a strong "Wilsonian" streak, and want to see American influenced use for global progress to some extent with contempt for those who try to put a break on what are perceived as opportunities to move forward. Fareed Zakaria is editor of Newsweek International, which has a global readership of 3.5 million and editions distributed in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Latin America and Africa. He also writes a column that appears in the national edition of Newsweek, Newsweek International and, often, The Washington Post, making it one of the most widely circulated columns of its kind in the world. He is the author of The Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy at Home and Abroad (April 2003), a new book on global political trends, and From Wealth to Power, a provocative examination of America’s role on the world stage, which has been translated into several languages. He is co-editor of The American Encounter: The United States and the Making of the Modern World. Describing him as "the most influential foreign policy adviser of his generation," Esquire named him "one of the 21 most important people of the 21st Century." Zakaria was born in India, has a B.A. from Yale (in history) and a Ph.D. from Harvard (in international relations). In 1992, at the age of 28, Zakaria became managing editor of Foreign Affairs, the leading journal of international politics and economics—a position he held through 2000. He recently joined the ABC television show ‘This Week’, where he offers political analysis and serves as a regular member of the roundtable. He also appears as an analyst on several other ABC News programs. In addition, he has been a guest on such programs as ‘Charlie Rose,’ ‘Firing Line,’ ‘The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer,’ ‘The McLaughlin Group,’ ‘BBC World News,’ and ‘Meet the Press.’ Zakaria has written for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The New Yorker, and was the wine columnist for Slate. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Overseas Press Club Award, the National Press Club’s Edwin Hood Award, the Deadline Club Award for Best Columnist, and a lifetime achievement award from the South Asian Journalists Association. fareedzakaria.com
