...result is an extravagantly expensive campaign season. While the amount that candidates for President and Congress will spend this year is estimated at $1.2 billion, the amount spent in other ways by the parties and special-interest groups may total $800 million more. There's no end in sight. Bill Clinton and Bob Dole both promised in their first debate that they would get serious about reforming campaign-finance laws, but they have studiously avoided the subject in the past 12 months; Congress has been stalled all year on the McCain-Feingold campaign-reform bill, its most comprehensive attempt...

Elsewhere in the gulf, that sentiment is widely endorsed as part of the regional balance of power. Many are concerned that Washington has lost sight of the larger picture. What the U.S. really has to handle is not one devil but two--and it may be letting one grow perilously large while it is trying, however unsuccessfully, to cut the other down to size...
