Fareed Zakaria
If we didn't have the rest of the world growing, the United States economy would be in much worse shape than it is today.
Fareed Zakaria
Conservatives used to believe in confronting hard truths, not succumbing to comforting fairy tales. Some still do.
Fareed Zakaria

Fareed Zakaria
No successful political transition can take place without leaders and movements that demand and press for freedom.
Fareed Zakaria
I should not be judged by a standard that's not applied to everyone else.
Fareed Zakaria
I am an American, not by accident of birth but by choice. I voted with my feet and became an American because I love this country and think it is exceptional.
Fareed Zakaria
What we see today is an American economy that has boomed because of policies and developments of the 1950s and '60s: the interstate-highway system, massive funding for science and technology, a public-education system that was the envy of the world and generous immigration policies.
Fareed Zakaria
