Tomorrow, March 18, is the third anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq.

"The Defense Department has evolved highly selective and accurate munitions that can sharply reduce the need to take or receive casualties. The predictions of widespread mayhem turned out to be false last time – when the weapons [in the Gulf War] were nothing like so accurate. ... It can now be proposed as a practical matter that one is able to fight against a regime and not a people or a nation."

-- Christopher Hitchens, March 18, 2003
