...mind when I think of Kashmir [April 17]. My assumptions about the war-broken land were completely proved wrong when I visited two years ago. The landscape contained not only lush mountains and breathtaking scenery but also amazing numbers of schools and students. I had expected to find dismay and destruction in this problematic region; instead I found an optimistic and budding economy trying to put its past behind it.

And, in memory of the terrible Latin American decade, we must apply them uniformly and categorically, not merely as rhetoric leitmotifs. Memory requires bravery but also consistency; the road to heaven does not transit through...
