On GPS Sunday: Analysis on Iraq, and Germany's defense minister talks Ukraine
Watch "Fareed Zakaria GPS," Sundays at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN
On GPS this Sunday: First, Fareed will get the latest from CNN correspondents on the ground in Iraq before hearing from an all-star panel about the U.S. plan – and if there's anything America can do that will actually help. Retired General Anthony Zinni, former top U.S. counterterrorism official Richard Clarke and Robert Grenier, former director of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, all weigh in.
“Now, if we support the government in Baghdad, it will be seen in some parts of the Middle East, that we're supporting the Iranians and the Shia in Iraq, as well, at the expense of the Sunni,” Clarke says. “We have to remember that the goal here is not military. The goal is political.”
Also, the other crisis – in Ukraine. Fareed will speak with Germany's defense minister about punishing Putin. Does Europe have the stomach for more pressure?
Then, how a persuasive president who loved politics got an extremely controversial piece of legislation passed. Fareed speaks with Pulitzer Prize winning writer Robert Caro about the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act, a milestone in American history.
Finally, how to crown a king when you're pinching pennies – Spain showed us the way this week.

Only a total moron will believe this Ursula von der Leyen has to say. She keeps on screaming out how Russia "trampled" on international rules without mentioning the ignominious 2003 invasion of Iraq by both the British and Americans. With people like these, how can there be peace anywhere?
@ My Troll:
Alas, my reply to your forgery was rejected by the publishers.
Alas, you are still the troll.
The greater Middle East region needs a comprehensive PEACE PLAN. PEACE would benefit the region, the economy and the whole world.
Thank you. I couldn't agree more!
Fareed,
I feel that we need to divest ourself from the current sectarian dialog and focus on the preservation of Democracy in Iraq as well as The Ukraine it gives us the legitimacy that we desire. ISIS should be treated as a rogue army that seeks to destabilize the region. This argument will go well with other established democracies and Sheikhdoms in the region sidestepping the ugly divisive sectarian war.
This is undoubtedly one of the dumbest comments I've seen yet! Did Germany have the legitimate right to take over France in 1940? Of course not!
One needs a legitimate right to take over?
So Maria Tallchief may be the next President of the United States of America?
i rarely watch cnn because every time i do i hear things like fareed zakaria saying that instead of raisng the minimum wage ...that we should increase the earned income credit so poor people could get more back.....more back?? doesnt he know they dont even have to pay taxes and they get all of what they put in back...BUT they get the money you and i pay in taxes for free zip nothing...often thousands in free giveaway cash ...for screwing up their lives in a hundred different ways ...they get my money for free FREE...zakaria obviously doesnt even know what he is talking about here!!!
@ tom ford,
While your thinking is quite sound regarding taxation of the poor, if you want to be taken with the utmost seriousness in this forum, I fear that you may have to leave your brain at home.
Just think with the elegant simplicity of your heart.
Or @ tom you can just be as pompous as the one posting before me! The one who thinks like scrooge and thinks he can buy his way into heaven!!! Sorry @ Joey thats me thinking with my BRAIN! How do you like me now? Doesnt feel so good does it?
My heart tells me not to be mean to you but since mean is all you know...mean is how we will be!!!
Please got dont let me turn into a crotchety old goat like the previous blogger when i reach his ripe age! Amen!
But thank you for proving to me that one can be BOTH intelligent and ignorant at the same time!
"Wrecking havoc." Really, Fareed. Reeks of E. R. Murrow and "epitome." I remember my mother cringing as I just did.
Mr. Clark commented that "It's not America's job to fix Middle East"! I can't disagree more specially when America is responsible for breaking it in the 1st place. Just compare Iraq when Saddam was in power to what has happened since US invasion. It's very hard lesson on interventionism an nation building that we are not learning.
Well put, mortal. Thank you.
No, Troll. Although that view was "put" clearly, I "can't disagree more."
The "hard lesson" for many USA citizens to accept is that we must always act in our own best interest.
I am sure the Kurds would chose to disagree with you.
@ Joey, i apologise for losing my temper! I do not apologise for being able to THINK with the 2 vitally important organs that God gave me! I believe there was intended purpose for our being able to do so! And im equally certain that purpose was NOT self gratification!!!
@ chrissy,
You never have to apologize to me. We are friends.
You and I think differently about some–that's some, but certainly not all–things.
I think that much well-intentioned aid is ultimately counterproductive. We probably would never agree completely about that subject.
By the way:
HILLARY 2016!
Who is Maria Tallchief?
One of the greatest ballerinas of all time, extremely famous, an important administrator in the arts, and relevant to Joseph McCarthy's legitimate-right-to-take-over-a-country comment, Native American.
@ chrissy:
I just learned that Maria Tallchief died a little over a year ago.
Obviously, I wouldn't have written that post if I had known.
And yes Hillary 2016!
Somehow chrissy, I don't think so!
Troll, isn't it time for your martinis? Take a break, huh?
Lol @ faux Joey...you mean you dont think so well? Lol and @ REAL Joey i still dont know who she was.
@ chrissy,
Pity.
I was early to rise today. I love espresso.
Ah @ Joey i JUST saw your post telling me. Sorry i missed it yesterday.
