Zakaria Offers Insight to Post Bin Laden

In an article posted on CNN Zakaria, the author of the The Post American World, was interviewed via twitter on what happens now that Osama Bin Laden is dead. The first piece of advice Zakaria offers is that the U.S. should definitely continue to hunt terrorists affiliations. He stresses how now is a critical time where terrorist groups like the taliban and al Qaeda are leaderless and vulnerable right now and pushing forward is the the U.S.'s best interest. However he does make it clear that while its important to still keep troops to hinder the formation of terrorists groups, that we do not need more than 30,000, and we should withdraw from Afghanistan and stop trying to make the third poorest country into a functioning democracy, he says, its not going to happen.
