Fareed Zakaria turns "left"...

For me, Tuesdays elections brought back that sense of America as the land of the future. The presidential race is being discussed as one that was about nothing, with no message or mandate. But thats simply not true. Put aside the reelection of Barack Obama and consider what else happened this week:
Three states voted to legalize same-sex marriage, which is the civil rights cause of our times. One day we will look back and wonder how people could have been so willing to deny equal treatment under the law to a small minority and Tuesday will stand as one of the most important moments marking the end of that cruelty.
Two other states voted to legalize some recreational use of marijuana, which will surely mark the beginning of the end of the war on drugs. This may be the most costly, distorting and futile war the United States has ever waged.
