		<description><![CDATA[LAWRENCE GULOTTA While our domestic right-wing pundits and bloggers remain focused on Muslim immigration into Europe and the U.S., the motivation behind Anders Behring Breivik&#8217;s murderous rampage appears to be blind, insane hatred of Norway’s ruling Labor Party and the social democratic model of development.

		<description><![CDATA[Jefferson Cowie is a teacher, historian, and writer at Cornell University. As a social and political historian, his work focuses primarily on how class, inequality, and work shape American politics and culture.

The ruling center-right coalition led by the Moderate Party won re-election to a new four year term, marking the first time in modern Swedish history that a non-social democratic government has won a second consecutive term in office.
