Lots of very helpful critiques of the substance of the article (not that the article actually has substance). So I’ll go to the big picture:

This article is emblematic of a problem that has been with the FP since it changed its name from “Common Sense:” inconsistency. There are often some great, thoughtful long form pieces, such as the one by Ayaan Ali Hirsi, earlier this week. And then we get pieces that are thought-averse filler, like this one.

This isn’t a newspaper- we don’t need filler pieces to make up space and wrap our fish and chips in. I would much rather see fewer articles that are better researched and written.
