George W. Bush got out of Dodge just in time. The president and his best friends -- or those who used to be his best friends before he drummed them out of the company of patriots -- have been exchanging so much hostile fire that someone was about to get hurt.
The president arrived in Prague last night, the first stop on his tour of the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Italy, Albania and Bulgaria. It's scary times over there, too. His old pal Vladimir Putin is sulking again, this time threatening to aim his nuclear missiles once more at Europe. This is the man George W. famously said he could "do business with." That was after the president had looked into his soul and liked what he saw.
On the eve of his departure from Washington, the president took pains to remind Mr. Putin that "the Cold War is over." En route to Panama, where she is taking the waters and supping with our Latin American friends at the Organization of American States, Condi Rice, the secretary of state, slipped into her schoolmarm role. She told Mr. Putin that his remarks are "not helpful," which is what diplomats say to express medium-high dudgeon. "This isn't the Soviet Union," she said, "and we need to drop the rhetoric that sounds like what the United States and the Soviet Union used to say about each other and realize it is the United States and Russia in a very different period."
