    Fareed Zakaria quote. Because of the times we live in, all of us, young and old, do not spend enough time and effort thinking about the meaning of life.

    Fareed Zakaria quote. I should have paid greater attention to my mentor in graduate school, Samuel Huntington, who once explained that Americans never recognize that, in the developing world, the key is not the kind of government — communist, capitalist, democratic, dictatorial — but the degree of government. That absence of government is what we are watching these days, from Libya to Iraq to Syria.(“Why they still hate us, 13 years later,
