		<description><![CDATA[The Cold War ended twenty years ago, but it remains the preeminent focus of historians of U.S. foreign relations.   The disappearance of the Soviet Union also prompted few changes in U.S. national security policy.  One could chalk up both phenomena to inertia. Once a field begins to focus heavily on a period [...]]]></description>

As Washington pressures both Iran and North Korea to abandon their nuclear ambitions, many U.S. commentators cling to the U.S. nuclear arsenal as a pillar of its international hegemony. They latch onto nuclear [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Crossposted from Michael Hunt&#8217;s Washington and the World blog.
There is good reason to pity the poor historian, who has been tested especially severely during the recent McChrystal-Obama imbroglio as the eruption of historical parallels and lessons have ranged from the wrong-headed to the off-kilter.
