Pooh Bahism

The great head of the multicultural pooh-bahs--Fareed Zakaria--has held forth on the events in Mumbai.  Read it if you must.  He has mastered the art that is the one essential of a keeper of conventional wisdom: saying nothing in a way that sounds important and meaningful.  The art of keeping the conventional wisdom is to make policy proposals and diagnoses that a) involve no value conflicts that threaten the elite, b) call for more resources to flow to the elite and c) blame something (if not the entire problem) on Bush.
