		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Your dearest wish is for our state structure and ideological system never to change, to remain as they are for centuries. But history is not like that. Every system either finds away to develop or else collapses.&#8221; Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote that in 1974, in his famous &#8220;Letter to the Soviet Leaders.&#8221; But it could just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s shocking is that it doesn&#8217;t happen more often. When a heartless system refuses to listen or help, when it crushes and grinds down millions of people day after day, year after year, everywhere, it&#8217;s illogical and unreasonable to assume that all its victims will pick themselves up, dust themselves off and reinvent themselves. Job [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK &#8212; &#8220;Given his druthers (U.S. President Barack) Obama will pursue the most left-leaning course he can get away with.&#8221; So says Jennifer Rubin, a rightwing pundit at the neoconservative-leaning Washington Post. &#8220;Obama,&#8221; Rubin claims, &#8220;would have marched through his entire liberal agenda &#8212; if he had the votes.&#8221; This, of course, assumes that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MIAMI &#8212; We expected broken promises. But the gap between the soaring expectations that accompanied Barack Obama&#8217;s inauguration and his wretched performance is the broadest such chasm in recent historical memory. This guy makes Bill Clinton look like a paragon of integrity and follow-through. From health care to torture to the economy to war, Obama [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK &#8212; Although its appearance in The Nation guaranteed it would receive scant notice, a July 30 essay by Alexander Cockburn was one of the first to seriously address the most troubling internal contradiction of the anti-Iraq War left. War, everyone knows, is a zero-sum game. For one side to win, the other has [...]]]></description>

Indeed, just about everyone did. &#8220;It is hard to disagree with the jury&#8217;s guilty verdict against Jose Padilla, the accused, but never formally charged, [...]]]></description>

Tenet could have been a hero. He could have changed history. Imagine the scenario: It&#8217;s Jan. 18, 2003. Congress has signed off on military action. Tens of thousands [...]]]></description>
