These are important questions, but with the U.S. a virtual foreign policy-free zone lately, there has been almost no debate outside the diplomatic and academic community about NATO extension. There will be more after the July NATO summit, and it should be thorough. Critics will question whether the U.S. should get more deeply involved in Europe. They will focus, properly, on the cost of expansion--$35 billion overall, according to the White House, vs. the $125 billion Congressional Budget Office estimate--and argue that defending London is one thing, but Budapest? Proponents of expansion will counter yes, Budapest...
...headline GOOD PEOPLE REWARDED; EVIL ONES TO SUFFER. The worry monger in me finds no satisfaction in the international pages either.

LIBREVILLE, Gabon: Mobutu Sese Seko emerged from a summit of his francophone allies insisting he would return to Kinshasa and hold elections while finally acknowledging he is too ill to be a candidate.

The strategy has generally worked, and now "companies are aligning furiously with nonprofits," says Lesa Ukman, president of the Chicago-based marketing firm IEG Inc. "In 1997 you can't make...
LUBUMBASHI, Zaire: Now that Zaire's summit-on-the-sea has ended in an apparent stalemate, Laurent Kabila is back to his preferred form of diplomacy: the ultimatum. From his headquarters in Lubumbashi, Kabila has given Mobutu Sese Seko eight days to yield to the rebel alliance or "be chased from the power." Fiercely denying a U.N. envoy's statement that he had agreed to a cease-fire with the ailing Mobutu, the rebel leader is giving his troops quick marching orders toward the capital. As he attempts to get Mobutu to resign before the soldiers arrive, Bill Richardson began...
