Instead of rallying Republicans, the Balkan showdown has exposed how divided the party is over America's duties in the post-cold war world. After days of tap dancing, by late last week the Republicans had cleaved fairly cleanly between two camps: those in Pat Buchanan's populist, isolationist fortress who were arguing we should leave Europe to the Europeans, and those who, belatedly in some cases, fell in step behind Arizona Senator John McCain, the former prisoner of war in Vietnam, and called for NATO to fight on even harder to preserve the credibility of U.S. power...
