Do you agree with this statement?

CNN: So what you would recommend to the Republican Party?

Zakaria: They need to realize the world is changing and the old rules don't apply. They need to be innovative as Ronald Reagan was in 1980. Shouting "USA is No. 1" is cheap rhetoric, divorced from the real world. The real challenge for Washington is not to boast about America's might but to use its capabilities -- military, political, intellectual -- to work with others to create a more stable, peaceful and prosperous world in which American interests and ideals will be secure.

Personally my reaction to this is that is makes complete sense. The world has changed and we already know we are a super power but how we use the super power is truly a test to how great we are. If we lack the understanding of our own power, we will never be able to harness and use that power to get the important things wordly accomplished like it should. We must be more than just a leader of the free world, we must be leaders for ourselves.

    Yes, I do. Which is one of the reasons why the Republican Party was so easily defeated this election. They are clinging to their memories of might but don't realize that they had already lost their way. And in the meantime, the rest of the country (and world) is moving forward.

    I agree with this, the world has changed and we need to realize this as a whole. The whole business of shouting that this is the greatest country in the world has become (IMO) a cliched catch phrase. Unless you have been outside of the United States of America (or even outside of the state that you were born in for that matter) you really have no business saying that.

    I agree with a lot of things Fareed Zakaria says when it comes to economics and politics.

    He is an incredibly bright individual

    I completely agree. Like I previously said, improvement goes through self-analysis. Shouting out that we are the greatest doesn't make you more patriotic. Your actions do. We have a lot to learn from other countries and we have the potential, and usually the money, to achieve it.

    Of course, I predict that most people will agree with that statement.

    Will they actually follow it? Probably not.
