Pakistan’s rulers, however, are obsessed with Kashmir, which they have repeatedly tried and failed to wrest from India through war and militancy, and with a desire to “cut India down to size” by bleeding it through terrorism. What needs to happen is for a new political culture to prevail in Pakistan, one that privileges peace, dialogue, co-operation, tourism and trade instead of resentment, bigotry, militarism, intolerance and violence."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/1331/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Eugene Debs and the Fight for Free Speech</title><link>http://calitreview.com/776</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/776#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:41:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Paul Comstock</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Biography]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Economics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Espionage]]></category> <category><![CDATA[History]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Military]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[American History]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Bolshevik Revolution]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eugene Debs]]></category> <category><![CDATA[propaganda]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Socialism]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Warren Harding]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Woodrow Wilson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[World War I]]></category> <guid

We’re not doing that now, and I don’t see a good strategy coming out of Washington as to how to do it better."]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://calitreview.com/396/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>2</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>American-Made by Nick Taylor</title><link>http://calitreview.com/392</link> <comments>http://calitreview.com/392#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 03 Mar 2008 15:41:12 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Elinor Teele</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Economics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[History]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Non-Fiction Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Politics]]></category> <category><![CDATA[1930s]]></category> <category><![CDATA[American History]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Franklin Roosevelt]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Great Depression]]></category> <category><![CDATA[WPA]]></category> <guid
