Najam is a Boston academic with advanced degrees from MIT and specializes in the areas of international relations, environment and development policy. Judging from the comments on his blogpost, Najam’s piece on Obama can be seen as either flattering or darkly suggestive, depending on the reader’s point of view. One commenter reacted by writing “Obama gives you confidence in democracy again. He will be good for the world and good for America if he is elected.” But another commenter disagrees, saying that “by writing this you have opened the doors for al sorts of crazy Obama haters to take this and twist it into conspiracies about Obama and Muslims and Pakistan. He has enough problems already, lets not make his ‘Pakistan connections’ another one.”]]>Sat, 13 Sep 2008 16:02:41 -0400<![CDATA[Richard Fernandez]]>https://pjmedia.com/richard-fernandez/2008/09/13/columbia-days-n186075
