Things could change, of course. There will be a new Administration in Washington next year, conceivably one whose temper and tone will be such that European public opinion will swing behind the need to fund its military establishments properly (though don't count on the latter ever happening). Meanwhile, it is clear that NATO is facing a test in Afghanistan that is unlike anything it has encountered, and one that it may not survive. U.S. frustration with some of its European partners could compel Washington to establish other coalitions of the willing instead, says military analyst Michael O'Hanlon...
Woody Mosby, a 59-year-old semi-retired architect, got to know the concrete corridor between Dunkin' Donuts and tracks 1 & 2 of Philadelphia's Suburban train station really well this Easter weekend.

...candidates themselves aren't helping to resolve the mess they too helped create by going along with the DNC. Clinton accepted the DNC ruling last year when she was the front-runner; but now, because she won the Florida and Michigan primaries but trails Obama in the delegate count, she's the earnest champion of voters like Bander. She backed the idea of revotes in Florida and Michigan; but this week rejected a compromise solution offered by Democratic state Senators in Florida that would take the GOP tack and reinstate half the delegates (giving Clinton 63 and Obama...
