Some people say these elections could be a first step toward resolving the 55-year-old Kashmir conflict. The vote, which began last week and continues through Oct. 8, is to choose an 87-member State Assembly for India’s Jammu and Kashmir. Secretary of State Colin Powell himself raised hopes in Kashmir–and the prospect of fresh U.S. engagement–when he said last July the balloting could open “a process that addresses Kashmiri grievances.” The disputed territory has been the subject of two full-scale wars between India and Pakistan, and last spring and summer the quarrel threatened to erupt into another war between the two neighbors, both of whom now have nuclear weapons....

And the undercover police probably acted in “legitimate defense,” as the lawyerly phrase would have it. Bejaoui was armed and dangerous–why take risks with a man carrying a hand grenade? Bejaoui even survived the shooting, apparently by sheer luck. He is now listed in stable condition. Yet the way in which the drama ended raises disturbing questions for Europeans who are proud that they’ve banned capital punishment, and appalled by it in other countries....

Yet even though Trump was defeated, it’s clear that the president’s brand of divisive tweeting and disparaging nick-name politics is here to stay. Biden won by a popular vote margin of more than 6 million votes, but Trump still gained nearly 11 million votes compared to his 2016 victory.
