		<description><![CDATA[VANCOUVER, British Columbia &#8212; After devoting the single greatest part of my time to security most days at the 2010 Winter Olympics, I had to ask myself: Was it worth it? Would I willingly repeat the experience at future events of this kind?

		<description><![CDATA[The Iranian government&#8217;s vicious crackdown on protests during recent celebrations of the country&#8217;s revolution &#8212; which stymied organizers&#8217; plans &#8212; has tempted some analysts to conclude that the opposition is faltering. My sentiments reflect another view that could not disagree more, that of Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi. She maintains that the opposition secured a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the Obama administration enters its second year, evaluations range from the extremely positive to the exceedingly negative. Looking for a balanced, informed perspective from a veteran presidential-studies specialist, I turned to Georgetown University&#8217;s Stephen J. Wayne, the author of &#8220;The Road to the White House 2008&#8243; and a forthcoming book on President Barack Obama.

		<description><![CDATA[Nature has a way of delivering some of its most devastating blows to those who already suffer disproportionately, as happened during Haiti&#8217;s tragic earthquake. It will take weeks, maybe months, to account for those who are lost and evaluate the full extent of the damage.

		<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON &#8212; Since 9-11, Americans have been rightly concerned about how the numbers stack up in the struggle against terrorism. Whether one calls it a war or something else, a sense of direction is not just necessary but vital.
Along those lines, a new report &#8212; &#8220;Are We Winning?&#8221; &#8212; by the bipartisan American Security Project, [...]]]></description>

If we were living in a perfect world and no existential threat to the United States presented itself, a publicity-seeking party-crasher at such an event might be dismissed as a minor concern, even an [...]]]></description>
