$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he review in American Conservative compared this book with Rudyard Kipling's poems "Recessional" and "The White Man's Burden", both written at the height of British power and warning against imperial hubris.[11] The American Spectator review listed it as adding to similar themed books, comparing it to Oswald Spengler's The Decline of the West (1918), Arnold Toynbee's A Study of History, Paul Kennedy's The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers (1987), and Robert Kagan's The Return of History and the End of Dreams (2008).[6] Kagan labeled The Post-American World as "declinist",[12] however Martin Woollacott of The Guardian labeled Zakaria an exceptionalist.[7] The Commentary review added the works of Samuel P. Huntington and Francis Fukuyama to the list of comparisons and suggested there is now a sub-genre of books that consider the decline or demise of American hegemony.[13]

Fareed Zakaria is a bit too intellectual for most Americans, but his show, GPS, is one of the better news magazines/interview shows IMO.

I'm not impressed, I'd love to see Obama with a Chomsky book on language or politics. Although I admire Chomsky's work on language and disagree with his views on politics I think he's very anti establishment. So if your reading Chomsky you either to be very well educated/intelligent (language) or anti establishment (politics).

Chomsky is the Expletive deleted..

Obama is reading a book contemplating a globalising American style capitalism. You reckon he, (or Zakaria, a CFR man, for that matter) takes peak oil seriously?

That picture folks speaks eloquently for where America's leaders are with peak oil.
