GPS with Fareed Zakaria:
The debate over the Islamic center near Ground Zero rages on. And GPS is digging deeper into the discussion.
Peter Beinart of the Daily Beast and Brett Stephens of the Wall Street Journal in an intelligent debate on why the project should or shouldn't go forward.

The catastrophe in Pakistan is staggering. 4 million homeless and countless dead. One fifth of the nation is under water. And it's likely to get worse. Imran Kahn, the cricket legend and now one of Pakistan's most prominent politicians, tells Fareed just how awful the devastation is and just how poor the Pakistani government's response has been.

Then, just what is Germany's secret sauce? How is it managing to thrive when so many nations are languishing?

And speaking of booming nations, China just passed Japan to become the world's 2nd largest economy. Is it just a matter of time before they overtake the U.S. as well? An all-star GPS panel, including Niall Ferguson of Harvard University, looks at what the future holds for China and just what this means for the United States.

And finally a look at a different house of worship being welcomed in a place you might never have expected.
