Amherst Magazine: A Soldier's Tale
Amherst Magazine Summer 2004: A Soldier's Tale
The damage from the looting was tremendous. People ask me about the infrastructure and how much buildings were damaged during the bombings. The bombing campaign by the U.S. was tremendously effective and also incredibly surgical. They could take out one building and preserve all the surrounding buildings with limited damage. What was most destructive on the infrastructure and the buildings and the people in Baghdad was the subsequent looting. There wasn't a plan in place to control it, and there were certainly not enough forces in place to control it, so it became what the guys used to call 'the Wild West.'"
To knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight of the blood. --George Santayana
