Those embittered 2004 John Kerry supporters had it right: A movement is afoot to bring back the draft. Only it’s a different draft than the one they were fixated on. The comeback has to do with luring reluctant presidential candidates into the 2008 horserace. The last real draft movement to take a private citizen to the White House was inspired by Dwight Eisenhower in 1952. After Eisenhower’s historic military career, a groundswell of support emerged for him to run for president. But even then, it took Republican emissaries traveling to his NATO headquarters near Paris to convince Eisenhower to run....

Rice says does not know if N.Korea's Kim is sane WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday she did not know whether North Korean leader Kim Jong-il was sane, a remark that could anger Pyongyang's unpredictable ruler.

Bush. "It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the rooster," state Radio Pyongyang said in a broadcast monitored by South Korea's Unification Ministry. Rice became the target of Pyongyang's ire in January by referring to the isolated Stalinist state as an "outpost of tyranny."
