dc_girl, I am very keen on reading that rebuttal to Zakaria. I tried to access the article, but it seems one has to be registered as a student at GMU to do so. If you have an access to that article, can you please forward the piece to me? I tried to email you via Sajha, but looks like the feature has been down for a while now. anil_shahi_et@hotmail.com Thanks!
