To what extent is America ready to assume the role of world policeman? More specifically, under what circumstances might it -- and some of its allies -- again mount a military effort comparable to the one in the gulf?

The real target of the deadly package was Dirk Coetzee, a former policeman who now supports the African National Congress and lives in exile in Zambia. Coetzee testified last summer that former colleagues on the South African police force were behind the hit-squad deaths of several A.N.C. activists. The parcel bomb was sent to Coetzee in Lusaka. But when he refused...
