Beyond Bush

Newsweek's top international correspondent (and frequent 'Daily Show' guest) Fareed Zakaria has the cover story this week. It's on restoring America's place in the world, following the end of this administration (only 19 more gruelling months!). It's entitled 'Beyond Bush: What the world needs is an open, confident America.'

The very fact that such an article even exists speaks volumes about the damage that the Bush presidency has done to America, at home and abroad. Worst president ever? It's not even a contest.

If you have the time, it is worth reading. I don't agree with all of Zakaria's statements/positions, but I think he gets the general idea right, and certainly has seen enough of the world to know what he's talking about.
