Comments on: Zakaria, Voice Of Insight Missing In Most Americans http://truthhugger.com/2009/06/22/zakaria-voice-of-insight-missing-in-most-americans/ Question with boldness, education, philosophy, humanity, culture, religion, social science Sun, 12 Feb 2012 06:05:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: bosskitty http://truthhugger.com/2009/06/22/zakaria-voice-of-insight-missing-in-most-americans/#comment-2283 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 02:24:52 +0000 http://truthhugger.com/?p=4904#comment-2283 I agree Wil, Zakaria chooses his words so carefully that both sides of an argument can grasp the essence of what he’s saying. I may be reading more into him than there really is, but I see he offers palatable grains of insight that could nudge radicals closer to the middle of the international debate. As long as he portrays sterile diagnostics, he appears sincerely non-partisan. He is not a knee jerk, that’s why I appreciate his views.

Still, his views can’t help but stimulate good debate.

I think the idea of “rigged” elections is now moot. Which means Obama can now come out more forcefully in support of freedom of speech, expression, since he’s not saying “hold new elections,” but “stop violating human rights.”

If the US goes around (a week ago) and publicly supports the protesters (as many republicans wanted us to do), we would appear to be “interfering.”

But now, Obama can come out and condemn the crackdown purely on a human rights platform – the stolen/rigged/whatever election doesn’t matter anymore.

The regime is shooting itself in the foot.
