Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

AMERICA'S GO-TO MAN FOR GLOBAL ISSUES
"Fareed Zakaria hosts Foreign Exchange which airs on Saturdays on PBS. He is America's go-to man for global chaos, providing some urgently needed outside perspective on our never ending war on terror. In the last few years, Zakaria has become a kind of bridge to the Arab world - an Asian-born Muslim with a Yale and Harvard education who seems willing to act as a cultural interpreter.
Zakaria stands out from the crowd of lily-white talking heads that populate American news shows thanks to his tan skin, clipped Bombay lilt, and his insistence that we pay attention to the rest of the globe. It was his post–9-11 Newsweek cover story "Why They Hate Us" that put him on the mainstream map as someone who could make sense of the now threatening outside world.
