...would require Senate ratification. Instead, the U.S. may offer some written guarantee that falls short of treaty status, and indications from Moscow are that Russia and China may be willing to offer extra security guarantees to persuade Pyongyang to sign. Recognizing the difficulty of bridging the ocean of mistrust between the U.S. and North Korea, China, Russia and South Korea are pressing for an immediate temporary freeze on the nuke program in exchange for a short-term security guarantee, while negotiations then continue over a "simultaneous and phased" program of dismantling, inspections and concessions - a "roadmap" to North Korean disarmament...
...Prime Minister Tony Blair is under fire from critics for overstating the case for war (see related story). The accusations came at an awkward moment for Bush, as he began a seven-day diplomatic trip to smooth over relations in Europe and seek peace in the Middle East.

Even then, however, it may be something of a long shot, and setbacks are an inherent part of the snakes-and-ladders game of Mideast peacemaking. It's unlike anything President...
Throughout the winter, Republicans could point to Dean's candid and bracing performances on the stump and say, This is what the Democrats are really all about. They are the party of peaceniks; they mistrust the military; they are not tough enough to protect America. This analysis was both right and wrong. In February, Dean did set the Democratic National Committee's winter meeting afire, but the reaction of the party faithful to Dean was no different from the Republican faithful's wild enthusiasm for red-meat orators like Alan Keyes and Pat Buchanan in years past.
