takes place. and two former wimbledon champions meeting in the men's final right now, roger federer is looking for a record eighth wimbledon title. novak djokovic won his only wimbledon crown three years ago, and they're in the fifth set at centre court. a man is feeling very lky today after he survived a great white shark bite. coming up at 2:00 eastern time, he joins me, live, to talk about that terrifying experience. i'm fredricka whitfield. cnn newsroom at 2:00 pm. fareed zakaria gps starts right now. this is gps, the global public squares. we'll start today's show in the

middle east, where the war has intensified and the israelis and palestinians are once again facing off. how does this all end? with new states all together or just unending violence? i'll talk with two great experts on the future of the middle east. >> then -- >> we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat in iraq. >> so can the united states fight against terrorists with just spies and drones? i'll ask a man who once ran the cia's operations overseas. also, despite being ousted from the world cup, america has become a true soccer nation. ann coulter says it's a scary sign of a new america. peter byner says she's right. then washington, d.c. is broken, but america is working surprisingly well. i will take you to a place with

aun employment rate half the national average. how does this city do it? i will show you. but first, here's my take. i've always loved july 4th, one of those special american national holidays that are celebrations not of religion, ethnicity or sect, but rather freedom and of america's unique national identity that is based on it. but around the world these days, we're seeing the rise of another kind of national identity, one that can be darker and more troubling. in the recent elections for the european parliament, nationalists, populists and even xenophobic party ds surprisingly well. the uk independence party beat ute all the established parties. france's national front won handily guess the ruling socialist party. in greece, the quasi-fascist

golden dawn won half a million votes, awarding seats in the parliament for the first time. many commentators have described this as a consequence of the dereliction and slow recovery that still afflicts much of europe, but similar voting patterns can be seen in countries like syria, denmark, which are all doing well economically. the parties that do well center their agenda not to economics, but on immigration and culture, on promoting national identity. you can see it not just in europe but around the world. look at prime minister abe and his plan to reinterpret japan's pacifist constitution and remilitarize after 70 years. or putin in russia, erdogan in turkey, xi jinping in china, in all cases assertive nationalism is the core part of the leader's appeal. why is this happening? one explanation is as globalization and technological revolutions transform the world,

people feel uneasy, uneasy at the pace of change, and they search for something they can hold on to, as a source of stability. looked around the world and everywhere we see this phenomen phenomenon. people are worried that are country is changing beyond recognition, and that they are being ruled by vast distant forces, whether the european union in brussels, the imf, or the federal government in washington, forces that are beyond their control, and by people who do not share their values. the rise of the tea party fits this pattern. after exhaustive research, the scholars vanessa williamson and peter scotchford concluded it was perhaps the central issue for tea party members, something reinforce bid eric cantor and his loss of the election. >> political ideology, more government, less government,

different government. but as samuel huntington noted many years ago, the force that seems to be moving the world these days is not political ideology but political identity. everyone is asking the question, who are we? and who are we not? even in america, even on july 4th. for more, go to cnn.com/fareed, and read my "the washington post" column this week. let's get started. so let's make sense of all of this turmoil in the middle east and where it's likely to lead. joining me now to do just that, robin wright is a longtime foreign correspondent, having reported from an astounding 140 countries. her latest book is "rock the

casbah," and farwaz gerge is 'tis london school of his latest book is "the knew middle east: protest and revolution in the arab world." welcome back to both of you. robin, let me start with you. you had a terrific piece in t"te new york times" a year ago that struck me in which you mapped out a new middle east based on the realities of the ground. describe for us what you new map of the middle east looks like. >> in the aftermath of the arab uprisings, we saw a combustible emerge that allowed ethnicities and tribes and religions begin to fight for their rights with dictators now absent from the scene. and that exploded. syria, of course, lit the match. we're now seeing syria, at least, into three different pieces. and that has been explosive in rippling across borders, challenging traditional boundaries established a century ago.

we see that play out in iraq today, where we see the emergence of at least three different parts of the country, the kurds particularly in the north, almost kind of de facto establishing their own boundary with the rest of iraq by deploying their own militia in that part of the border. it's also playing out in north africa, where you see the end of gadhafi's rule three years ago, unleashing rival tribes sbchlt here we're seeing in libya, those who live around the capital, tripoli, looking increasingly toward the western islamic world and those in benghazi looking toward the eastern world sbchlt they've long been standing rivals over resources and power. and you have the south, much more like africa than like north africa. so you see these dynamics

rippling across the region. >> farwaz, when you have written about it, would you have written that the core reason that this is happening is state failure. the failure of the governments to have built any institution, so when the dictators left, you realize there was almost nothing there. i think the syria, the place that you come from, which had -- what was it, seven or eight coups between the 1940s and 1970s, then 40 years of highly repressive stability and now is back to a period of pure chaos? >> you know, far eeed, this is t about sectarianism or tribalism, it's about state failure. it's a developmental fate, the post-colonial state, the existing state has basically delivered neither prosperity nor security, nor human security in the last 60 or 70 years, has bledsoe sights dry, has destroyed even the fragile institutions that existed in colonialism and replaced it with a cult of personality.

you had assad, saddam hussein, gadhaf gadhafi. i mean, people think of them at least as some of the richest regions in the world, and it is, yet out of the 320 million arabs, 40% of arabs either live in poverty or below the poverty line. you also have had foreign intervention. think of the american invasion and occupation of iraq, what it has done to state institutions, how it dismantles state institutions and, finally, you have, of course, the lack of progressive leaders in the arab world. and this is, again, linked to the crisis of authoritarianism. where is the nelson mandela of the arab world? >> robin, is there in prospect of leadership that has the authority to, first of all, actually control the country, take control, in effect have a monopoly of force in the borders, then to build the state institutions, make them

inclusive, but still strong enough to actually govern the country? it seems like a tall order when you look at the characters, you know, at play in iraq and syria and libya. >> absolutely, but i think the problem is not as much state institutions as it is the basic principle. it's hard to build an institution when you don't have an agreement on which to found your democracy, to build those institutions. and who is going to do it? how are you going to divide up the different responsibilities? and this is where we're seeing increasingly across the region a kind of darwinian evolution, rather than democracy taking flower. it's survival of the fittest rather than trying to develop a common good. that's where iraq has been such a tragedy. in the same way lebanon was when i lived there in the 1980s, when it went through its own civil war. 15 years over the issue of power sharing between christians and

muslims. and it took 15 years to sort out that basic principle. the danger is iraq becomes lebennized -- lebanonized. you see this being a prolonged struggle over the basic struggle how they share power. if they can't come up with that basic principle, there's no prospect of building institutions, much less holding these chris together. then we get into the kind of chaos that will have a strong rippling effect on whether it's the patterns of trade, energy flows, security challenges not just for the region, but for the outside world as well. farwaz, what should the united states -- any outside power, but the united states as the principle outside power, what can the united states do? is what president obama is doing right now a plausible response to this chaos?

>> fareed, i think what barack obama is doing is the right thing. you know i'm very critical about american foreign policy. i've written extensively on foreign policy in the middle east. barack obama is correct to basically keep a distance from the killing fields in the middle east. barack obama is correct to let the region develop its own instruments of government. the reality is this is a crisis that only people in the region should and can resolve. what the united states can do and barack obama can do is to work with multilateral powers, with the united nations, the international community, the european powers, regional powers, invest leadership capital in order to help basically build institutions and also bridge the divide between the contesting and contending forces in the region. >> fascinating conversation, sobering, but very enlightening. thank you very much. let's take this issue to the next step. how should the united states protect itself from terrorism and terrorists in this violent

and changing landscape? can we just stay out and use drones and spies to do the dirty work? i have two experts to answer just that question when we come back. from safety... to fuel economy... to quality... today's chevrolet has it all. and it's a great time to buy. during the chevy 72 hour sale, you'll get 0% apr for 72 months. plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. 0% apr for 72 months plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. hurry, the chevy 72 hour sale ends monday. find new roads at your local chevy dealer. means keeping seven billion ctransactions flowing.g, and when weather hits, it's data mayhem.

president obama promised three week ago not to send to send troops, but ever since then the insurgents have been gaining ground. what if they set up terrorist training camps? will drones do the trick? how about covert operations? my next two guests he was think cia for 32 years. at the cia forhis book "good hu

was recently published. and greg johnson is a journalist, scholar and experts on the use of drones. he's the author of "refuge: yemen, al qaeda and america's war in arabia." in which you said you will not be able to do what the united states has done in yemen, which is use drones when you see them in iraq. explain why. they're mingling with the population in the cities so i think we have what the u.s. in yemen is trying to bomb al qaeda in the arabian peninsula as a way of containing the groups, so the group doesn't send any bombs to the united states.

we don't have another underwear bomber. in iraq, it's different. what you're trying to do is up root this group from territory they've taken. drones are amazing, but they can't solve every problem. >> so, if you're trying to get them out of territories, you can't use the drone and the problem with using them in cities is that, of course, you'll have massive civilian casualties since they'll be intermingled with the population? >> absolutely. really, i think the thing that is the weak link when it comes to drones, you know, you can hit the car driving down the road and you can hit nothing else. if you don't have the intelligence if, you don't have the spies on the ground to know which car to hit, then you're going to hit civilians and then we're going to have a problem like we've had recently. so what we see is the u.s. has been bombing -- using drones in yemen the past four years. but instead of al qaeda getting smaller in yemen, they're getting bigger. if they try to do the same thing in iraq, my worry is the

same thing will happen in iraq. the group will get bigger rather than reduce in size. >> jack, you have dealt with these things all over the world. when you look back, your job was to make sure the terrorists don't gain strength, find them and help us kill them, what would you do? >> first of all, i think problem solving begins by having the pl plumbing in ahead of time and anticipating the problem. i'm hopeful that's what we have here. not all sunnis are supportive of isis. there are groups we have worked with before. >> when you say plumbing, you hope that the cia has been putting in place friends, allies and informants inside iraq? >> exactly. greg's point is right on target. if you don't have the sources, your drone effort will not be very good. it's only going to be effective if you have high-quality

intelligence. and it is not the solution. drones are not -- i agree 100%, are not going to solve the problem. but i do believe it's part of the package. >> you know, what you're describing, it seems to me, is your fear that if you use drones, you produce more of a backlash and grows the insurgency or the terrorist group. if that's the case, why have we been using drones so much over the last five years and proclaiming it a big success? >> that's a very good question. in president obama's commencement address at west point, he said u.s. actions have to meet a very simple test. they have to kill more terrorists than they produce. and right now, the u.s. is not meeting that test. so you look around the middle east. you look in yemen, iraq, syria, north africa, libya, egypt and other places and it seems like the problem is growing instead of being tamped down. and i think one of the problems -- and i agree completely with what jack said -- is that you can't go out and you can't wait and wait and

wait, and then wait for a crisis and then act. you have to be going all along. and i think the problem that the u.s. has had over the past several years is that we've been burned so much as a country by being in the middle east that we want a hands-off policy. and so we do nothing for such a long time and then things reach a crisis point and then it's all or nothing. and that, i think, is a real problem. >> i think greg and i -- the love fest is going to end right here. in other words, the drones have been immensely successful when you look at their application. we've taken out so many of the al qaeda leadership. i don't think there's a direct line between those attacks and the growing problem that we have. we have a much more serious problem in the sectarian sunni/shia struggle that is producing warriors for their side. it's not tied directly for their drones. >> one of the big lessons that

you talk about in your book from afghanistan is complete withdrawals tend to leave you with very few option. >> that's right. that's where i'm an advocate for using the agency. when you withdraw, you leave behind the agency, maintaining the plumbing, adding to the plumbing so that when circumstances require, you're not starting from ground zero. >> i love the terminology, maintain the plumbing, keep the agency. greg? >> yeah. so, just on jack's point, the u.s. has done a spectacular job about eliminating people in yemen, they've killed the american-born cleric, said al shihri, second in command. yet they killed these people and the organization isn't crumbling like many thought they would. you're cutting off the heads and the organization continues to grow.

>> they haven't been able to execute any major terrorist attack in the western world for a while. >> you're right. they haven't. but they have come very, very close. i think the problem is this is a new type of war for the u.s. this is a type of war in which success may not be best measured by body bags. so just because we kill more people and just because we kill leaders doesn't necessarily mean that the u.s. is winning a war. >> fascinating, sobering conversation as well. when we come back, there is general agreement that chien wra doesn't always play by the rules in trade and economics. so washington's brilliant solution, promoted by conservatives, no less, is unilateral disarmament.

that's keeping you from the healthcare you deserve..

at humana, we believe if healthcare changes, if frustration and paperwork decrease... the gap begins to close. so let's simplify things. let's close the gap between people and care.

that's why i always choose the fastest intern.r slow. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn't i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business internet and get the fastest wifi included. comcast business. built for business.

>> now for our what in the world segment. you know countries don't always play by the rules of international trade, especially countries where the government and large companies are all part of the same team. take for example china, the most notorious player, who hasn't read the rule sheet. the government of china lavish subsidies to make their products more competitive in the global marketplace. it's not just subsidies that help the companies. last year china's government

gave its domestic companies $111 billion in loans and guaranteed assurance to help them sell their various products overseas. china is just one example. japan's company has $33 billion. south korea $24 billion. and by contrast, the u.s. total was just $15 billion. keep in mind that south korea's economy is less than one-tenth the size of america's. now this creates a very uneven playing field. one in which it's tough for many u.s. companies to compete. and if american firms are struggling to compete, that's bad news for the millions of unemployed in this country. so, how can america stop these other countries from winning at its expense? national review, usually a staunch supporter of free trade recently ran a cover essay urging washington to threaten trade sanctions against china, but a trade war is a nuclear

response, slowing growth everywhere, damaging everyone's economy, taking jobs away from americans and imposing higher costs on all consumers. a much better idea is to level the playing field somewhat by having a u.s. government agency provide, i don't know, low-interest loans to exporters and guarantees to foreign buyers of american goods. guess what. we already have one. but washington is about to shut it down, shut down an agency that has been supported by both parties for around 80 years. the bank's charter expires on september 30g9 and congress will probably not renew it for the first time ever. why? xm has become what joe nocera calls the latest tea party pinata. eric cantor's loss has

emboldened staunch conservatives, claiming that it's -- kevin mccarthy, the newly elected rep leaders recently declared he doesn't support the bank's reauthorization and the private sector could perform its functions. the thing is the private sector already covers 98% of export financing. the bank is a lender of last resort, accounting for just 2% of annual exports, but a crucial 2%, cases where there is a bit more risk than the private sector is comfortable with. the bank says it has helped to sustain more than 200,000 jobs in 2013 here in the united states. much of the opposition circles around the fact that u.s. taxpayers would technically so so if it creates jobs and makes money for taxpayer, why has the bank become such a rallying cry for the gop?

the tea party is keen on taking on big business and the xm bank, they say, panders to lobbyists, picks winners and losers and helps kor s corporation instead real americans. welcome to the real world of globalization, where every other major government supports its companies. to cut this one institution that does that for american companies would be unilateral disarmament. it's not as if the chinese will watch america and say, oh, right we should be purists and end all our subsidies. no, they will simply laugh all the way to their state-funded, well-subsidized bank. later on "gps," more on jobs. we'll take you to a town where an unemployment rate that's half the national average. but first, do you love soccer? do you hate it? either way, you will want to hearty peter bernard explain how america became a soccer nation,

and why ann coulter is right to be worried about it. by the freshness of the mediterranean... or the smoky spice of the southwest... or bold, adventurous thai flavors... ...you always get flavor that's anything but flat. and always with chicken raised without antibiotics. new flatbread sandwiches from panera... ... each 360 calories or less. try one today.

tuesday's world cup match between bulgiu belgium and the states was record breaking in terms of live streams and probably lost productivity in the united states for a soccer game. even though the u.s. has bowed out of the tournament, this

country is certainly now a soccer nation. and that scares conservative commentator ann coulter, who says the growing interest in the sport is a sign of the nation's moral decay. my next guest sees things a little differently. he is the social professor of journalist and political science at the city university of new york and a contributor to "the atlantic." peter, you say that people like ann coulter worry about this and are distressed about it, because it wears away at the fact that the united states has been a kind of country apart from essentially the entire rest of the world on this one issue, on this one sport. >> right. ann coulter basically believes part of what makes america great is america is fundamentally different from the rest of the world and she compares soccer to the metric system. if the rest of the world adopts it, per se it's a good thing if the united states stays apart from it. i think what you're seeing is the willingness to embrace soccer and the willingness to

allow america's new immigrants to remain soccer fans without compromising their americanism reflects a shift in the united states. we have a less nativist sports culture and we are more open, at least some groups in the united states, young people, immigrants, political liberals, are more open to liking the same kinds of things that people in other countries do. these don't have to be ours and ours alone. >> in a sense, part of what the attraction of soccer is, is that you are sharing the sport with the rest of the world, sharing the enthusiasm, you know, following something everybody in the world is following. >> right. i think this reflects a larger shift. it's really fascinating if you look at the pugh polling, for instance. younger americans are far less likely than older americans to say that america's culture is superior or to say that america is the greatest country in the world. ann coulter may see that as pessimism, defeatism or culturism. more of a recognition, and

perhaps we have to learn from the rest of the world. and perhaps we have to learn from the rest of the world if we are to remain a successful country. >> now the kinds of people you were describing as soccer fans in the united states, a younger immigrants, children of immigrants, this all sounds a little bit like this sort of obama coalition. >> that's exactly right. in fact, if you look at the states where soccer is most popular, they're overwhelmingly blue states. and the states where soccer is least popular are red states. the only difference between the soccer coalition and the obama coalition is that african-americans are right now not such big soccer fans and, of course, important parts of the obama coalition. so, african-americans have a disproportionate passion to basketball. you can see the democrobama coan

is soccer plus basketball. the republican coalition is essentially playable plus golf plus nascar. and football is really bilateral. >> you've been tracking the numbers, the kinds of things that define american exceptionalism are declining, particularly among young people, right? >> right. for instance, if you look at religiosty, a dividing line between america and europe, you find among younger people that there's less of a stark divide, not because europe has changed but because younger americans are much less likely to be affiliated. if you look at questions about patriotism or shoev nichchauvinu also find that the gap that exists among older americans is virtually disappeared for younger people. i think this is the openness to the embrace of soccer. it's the same reason that younger people are far much more likely than older to say they like the united nations. it's a willingness to accept the idea that america is one of many nations.

yes, we have a special affinity for it, but it doesn't mean in some objective sense that everything we do is necessarily better. that famous and much attacked line of barack obama, where you remember he said i believe america is exceptional and the greeks think that greece is exceptional. which the conservatives attacked him for. i think a larger number of americans, that's basically their view, too. finally, what do you say to people who say i think ann coulter among them, that soccer is just boring? that they play for two hours, and it's 0-0 at the end of it. >> well, you and i both come from families where people play cricket for five days into a dr draw. the truth of the matter is these things are subjective. it is hard, if you didn't grow up with your father, your mother, your grandparents watching the game as a child, it's always hard to have the same emotional connection that you do to games that you grew up, where part of the culture, the fabric of your life. i think that's actually true.

but in a way this is good, this is what americans need to do. americans need to be willing to learn, to put in effort, to realize there are things that don't come naturally to us. and i think that's part of the spirit that america needs, particularly at this moment of globalization, at the time when america -- the power dynamic is shifting and americans have to learn from the world and compete in a new way. >> all right. soccer today, cricket tomorrow. >> peter beinart, thank you very much. >> thank you. next on "gps" i will take you to a state where the unemployment rate is so low, the governor's emissaries have to go to other states to find workers. how do they do it? when we come back. from safety... to fuel economy... to quality... today's chevrolet has it all. and it's a great time to buy. during the chevy 72 hour sale, you'll get 0% apr for 72 months.

plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. 0% apr for 72 months plus no monthly payments for the rest of the summer. hurry, the chevy 72 hour sale ends monday. find new roads at your local chevy dealer.

the true measure of economic recovery boils down to just one thing -- jobs. the national unemployment rate, which is hovering around 6%, may be the lowest it's been in more than five years, but about 10 million americans are still without jobs. what's more, only 63% of working age americans have a job or are looking for one. that's the lowest level of workforce participation since 1978. but there is a city that's spurring economic development and it has an unemployment rate that is about half the national average. for the next four weeks, i'll be taking you to areas around the country where america works, places where, far from

washington's dysfunctions and paralysis, local leaders are making stuff happen. here's my second installment. come with me to an unlikely boomtown, one that has its fiscal house in order as well. >> three, two, one -- >> floating on the edge of space, twice as high as airplanes, balloons like this are being manufactured for google to maybe someday provide internet connectivity to remote parts of the globe. balloon like this are currently conducting surveillance for the u.s. military. >> i think you could ask just about anyone who works here, and they would tell you our purpose. >> the president and ceo of raven industries, the company behind those balloons. he says his employees understand their purpose is to solve great challenges and their reach is global. >> we get e-mails and other correspondence back from the

field about actual lives saved and actual accounts of convoys that could have been under attack and weren't because of the surveillance we provided. >> but they do have some fun as well. raven makes the stars of the macy's thanksgiving day parade in new york city. all this innovation is happening in sioux falls, south dakota, the largest city in the rushmore state, population 164,676. when most people think of the dakotas these days, they think of the energy boom, but there's no oil or fracking anywhere on these 75 square miles. >> we've looked and we cannot find any oil for a long, long way. >> mike huther says sioux falls is a boomtown, nonetheless. we find our gold and our oil in other places, and that's in the

hardworking people of this town. and yes, those foundations, finance, health care, retail, construction, that is what creates the boom for sioux falls. >> they first struck gold when citibank moved its credit card operations here more than 30 years ago. mike huther worked for the international banking giant. >> citibank came here because the bank usery laws were more conducive to banks making money. >> due to strict laws, the amount that banks could charge was lower than they were paying to their depositors. with banks unwilling to make loans and the entire country in a recession, south dakota saw an opportunity. in 1980, the state passed legislation that exempted banks from such caps on interest rates. so citi moved in and others followed, transforming this town on the plains.

>> opportunities for a young college graduate with a economics or finance degree back in the early '80s, they were pretty limited. when citibank came, it was just the beginning of something huge for folks like myself. >> he would know. he runs this town. >> right now this town is rocking. >> that's right. mike huther is now the mayor of sioux falls and he's brought his business skills to government. the mayor has added to the city's piggybank for the past four years. his predecessors did similarly, and sioux falls now boasts a reserve that's 32% of its operating budget. that's a sizable rainy day fund. >> this is the midwest, this is south dakota, this is sioux falls. here we value prudence, we value since 2010, the city has

repaired or rebuilt 290 miles of roadway. in 2013, sioux falls broke its construction record for a single year. >> to me, if infrastructure is not rock solid, you can't go after some of those more visionary and more grand things that are kind of hanging out there on the edges. >> like building a talented workforce. sioux falls has an unemployment rate of about 3%. that's good but it also means there aren't enough people to fill the 2,000 plus jobs currently available. the problem is statewide. the governor of south dakota actually set up a kiosk in minnesota's mall of america to lure workers to his state. >> i encourage you to go on the site. >> the governor is a republican. >> proud of the state. and the mayor is a democrat but they insist it's a win-win

relationship. >> one out of every four tax dollars generated in the state of south dakota is generated out of sioux falls. so the governor knows and i know that when south dakota does well, sioux falls wins. when sioux falls does well, south dakota wins. >> they are willing because they are able to do on a state and local level what washington is failing to do, providing certainty to businesses and families. >> it's pretty simple. you infuse compromise. you communicate. you find common ground and then you get things done. how much more basic can that be? that's what's not occurring in washington d.c. >> we'll have more of these installments in the next four weeks. up next on "gps" change, we can believe in in turkey of all places.

it is independence day weekend here in the united states and that brings me to my question of the week. what country once celebrated its independence day on july 4th? a, the philippines, b, rwanda, c., ireland or d, australia. the british "lost for words" a look at the novelists and literary types in general. the portraits of the people, their quirks, weaknesses are

brilliantly rendered. comic novels are hard to do well. this one does it effortless. now for the last look. turkey announced that the prime minister would be its presidential candidate in the august elections. his campaign began immediately and his logo caught my eye. take a look. it's a red rising sun. the party says it symbolizes hope, birth of a new turkey, unity and togetherness. the winding road celebrates the journey of life but people pointed out that the logo looks a bit familiar. yes, it is very similar to president obama's campaign logo. at the time, obama's logo was chosen as a symbol of hope and a new day and of course because it has an o. this isn't the only logo people

have compared to obamas. in 2008, south africa's democratic alliance party unveiled this logo. taiwan's solidarity union's logo looks like this and this is the symbol of egypt's allure party. in other parts of the world, similarities to the obama campaign extend far beyond symbols. david axelrod, the top obama campaign adviser in 2008 and 2012 is crossing the bond to advise a labor party leader in next year's elections and obama's recent campaign manager will advise the other team, prime minister david cameron's conservative party. many elected officials around the world are asking for help understanding microtargeting, messages and the dynamics of social media. can one really transplant america's strange hypercharged political campaigns to other parts of the world thousands of miles away? i guess the answer is --
