a collection of thoughts, arguments, and observations
that I have found appealing and/or amusing over the years;
and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

Fareed Zakaria

I would like to suggest to you Fareed Zakaria. In The Post American World he provides a view of a possible future which deals with the fact that, though America can be the first power in the world, it cannot be as dominant a power in this century as it was in the last. I expect that he would agree with Walter Lippman’s statement that Foreign Policy is “bringing into balance, with a comfortable margin of power in reserve, the nation’s commitments and the nation’s power.” He writes for Newsweek and has a Sunday talk show, GPS the Global Public Square, which gives you the opportunity to hear from foreign leaders themselves about their views so as not to hear only what our people think that the foreigners think.

Mitch Daniels

Adam Madison told me about Mitch and I pass him along to you.
Andrew Sullivan calls him “a reality based conservative” and “a breath of fresh air”. I agree.

Irshad Manji

If you have wondered where are the reformers among the Muslims, then you should meet this woman.

She has written about Park 51 on her blog and that article is a good introduction to her.
