The American way of war

The New York Times has a remarkable after-action report from Troop C, First Brigade, Third Infantry Division: “Haunting thoughts after a battle.” David Tucker of No Left Turns directed our attention to the article (and gave us the heading above), saying that “I think this article from the New York Times is the best reporting I have read on the war. It probably makes the best case for the essential justice of our cause.”
The guys at RealClearPolitics have a couple of excellent columns that serve as compaion pieces depicting the face of the enemy: Ben MacIntyre’s “Alone in a world of lies…the last days of Saddam,” and Rick Brookhiser’s “Saddam’s barbarity proves our case.”
