...will the Bush team sail on its current tack? Hard to say, especially given the many signs of division between Powell's State Department, on the one hand, and Vice President Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon, on the other. But just as America shouldn't summon into existence the threats it wants to defend against, Europe shouldn't hasten a rift it doesn't want by talking up the danger to the Atlantic alliance.

It's a lot easier, for example, to sail a boat to 200 miles off America's shores and then launch a nuclear tipped cruise missile flying below the radar, using a GPS (global positioning system) for guidance - and the missile defense scheme would not cover that threat. Why would anyone go to all the trouble and expense...
