Fareed Zakaria is one of my favorite people. I'm always glad to see him as a
guest on the Daily Show and I'm not surprised to see him championing SI.

Another article by Fareed Zakaria making this point....

>>To bring others into this world, the United States needs to make its

commitment to the system clear. So far, America has been able to have it
both ways. It is the global rule-maker but doesn't always play by the rules.
And forget about standards created by others. Only three countries in the
world don't use the metric system-Liberia, Myanmar, and the United States.
For America to continue to lead the world, we will have to first join it.
