The New York Review of Books Pankaj Mishra: Obama’s long speech on Afghanistan did not refer even once to India or Kashmir. Yet India has a large and growing presence in Afghanistan, and impoverished young Pakistanis, such as those who led the terrorist attack on Mumbai last November, continue to be indoctrinated by watching videos of Indian atroc...ities on Muslims in Kashmir. Another terrorist assault on India is very likely; it will further stoke tensions between India and Pakistan, enfeebling America’s already faltering campaign against the Taliban and al Qaeda.
The New York Review of Books Perry Link: As the UN’s Climate Change Conference opens in Copenhagen this week, China must address its repression—until now ignored by the Obama administration—of citizen activists trying to call attention to the country’s environmental problems.

Copenhagen: China's Oppressive Climate
The New York Review of Books Amy Knight: The horrific November 27 bombing of the Nevsky Express halfway between Moscow and St. Petersburg could have serious political repercussions for the Kremlin. News of the explosion, which killed twenty-six and injured around a hundred passengers aboard the luxury, high-speed train, sent shockwaves throughout Russia.

The New York Review of Books Ingrid D. Rowland: As a political analyst, the Sienese painter Ambrogio Lorenzetti is hard to rival, even if he painted rather than wrote, and did so towards the middle of the fourteenth century.

When Heaven Was More Interesting Than Hell
The New York Review of Books Ahmed Rashid: Obama did not explain what strategy the additional US troops will be carrying out. There was no mention of the regional approach he had outlined in his March 2009 speech on Afghanistan and Pakistan. Nor did he say how the “civilian surge” he mentioned would work. There was nothing about reforming the US a...id and development process itself, which is rife with waste, corruption, and mismanagement.
The New York Review of Books Garry Wills: If we had wanted Bush’s wars, and contractors, and corruption, we could have voted for John McCain. At least we would have seen our foe facing us, not felt him at our back, as now we do.

The New York Review of Books Tony Judt: Just because you grow up on bad food, it does not follow that you lack nostalgia for it. My own gastronomic youth was firmly bounded by everything that was least inspiring in traditional English cuisine, alleviated with hints of Continental cosmopolitanism occasionally introduced by my father’s fading memori...es of a Belgian youth, and interspersed with weekly reminders of another heritage altogether: Sabbath evening dinners at the home of my East European Jewish grandparents.
The New York Review of Books Timothy Snyder in Slovakia with Václav Havel, discussing love and truth, cynicism and violence, and the difference between an ideology and an ideal.

The New York Review of Books Charles Simic: The shock of finding a homeless, dying man on the sidewalk, as I did the other morning, or a veteran of the Iraq war one cold autumn night with a cardboard sign explaining his predicament, is no laughing matter.

Homeless on the Home Front
The New York Review of Books Michael Greenberg: More than fifteen months have passed since war broke out between Georgia and Russia. And yet, although tens of thousands of people are still displaced, and Russia is posing an increasing threat to Georgia’s oil pipelines, both the EU and the US may be powerless to prevent further threats to the country.

Georgia's Shrunken Hopes
The New York Review of Books Christian Caryl: If the Communist Party feels that it’s now attained a position of dominance, why would it prevent ordinary Chinese from watching Obama’s town hall session—something that earlier Chinese leaders were secure enough to allow? If the Chinese are confident in their own economic success, why would they go to... such enormous lengths to stage-manage Obama’s visit?
