Clark to call for new alliance
AP (Washington)- Democratic presidential candidate Wesley Clark is calling for a new Atlantic Charter between the United States and its European allies to stress cooperation in meeting the threats of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction....

Clark, the former supreme allied commander of NATO forces in Europe, has said a new agreement would stipulate that while the United States will not give up the right to act alone, working together with European allies should be the first option....

Clark said, adding that the president rejected the advice of friends, left the country an isolated nation and compromised the "foundation of moral authority for the United States. That foundation has been splintered in a few short years," he said. "This administration has been all bully and no pulpit."

1. I like it
NATO is effectively defunct. A new transatlantic alliance focused on humanitarian issues and terrorism would be better.
