So how can one explain Bush adviser Condoleezza Rice's disclosure, even before the inauguration, that the U.S. might pull its troops out of the Balkans? Or the new President's telling South Korean President Kim Dae Jung that the U.S. was not going to continue talks with North Korea, seemingly undermining Seoul's "Sunshine Policy" toward Pyongyang?
