		<description><![CDATA[It was a reminder of the bad old days.  But it was today in Baghdad. Big suicide bomb, coordinated attacks on rescuers, dozens dead and wounded, and the customary &#8220;bears all the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda operation designed to ferment sectarian strife&#8221;.  It&#8217;s doubtful whether it had any effect on the tone of Robert [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama&#8217;s speech at Camp LeJeune today made official what we&#8217;ve known for a while, that the combat mission in Iraq is over. Perhaps that explains why the response to what should have been a historical announcement seemed strangely muted. There are many other possible explanations too, ranging from the little matter of a massive economic [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From a superficial perspective, the idea of diverting US forces to Afghanistan as we draw down troops in Iraq seems like a good idea.

It&#8217;s been resisting modernity and foreign control for millenia. Before we do [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tragedy on Black Friday morning. The 34-year-old employee, who was not identified, was knocked down by a crowd that broke down the doors of the Wal-Mart at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream, N.Y., and surged into the store.
