Deepak Chopra is many things. He’s a favorite guru of the left, a prolific author, and a new age spiritual douche bag. However, CNN has given him yet another title — terrorism expert. Throughout the weekend, Chopra was on various CNN shows bloviating about the causes of the Mumbai terror attacks.

Like any good left-winger the real causes of the attacks were brushed aside in favor of the usual ‘blame America first’ rhetoric. Newly minted terrorism expert Deepak Chopra wearing his pink diamond studded glasses calmly explained that it’s America’s “War on Terror” that is to blame for the attacks in Mumbai. Had we not “alienated” Muslims over the last 8 years this would have never happened.

Chopra of course fails to consider the ongoing low intensity conflict between India and Pakistan over the disputed Kashmir region that pre-dates the Bush administration and is widely considered the primary source of terrorist activities in the area.

Furthermore, If any alienation of Muslims was happening it must have been under the Clinton administration since 9/11 was being planned at that time and only executed after Bush was elected.

It really is irresponsible for CNN or any other network to put forth a new age hippie like Deepak Chopra to talk about issues with which he knows nothing about.

Take a look at these hi-resolution photos from the Mumbai terror attacks.
