Divided and uncertain, most chose to discuss little and protest less. As a Crimson poll revealed this spring, Harvard students were twice as likely to oppose war as the American public, but as millions across the globe united in demonstrations on Feb. 15, the Yard lay cold and barren. The Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice organized the only three campus protests that drew triple-digit student attendance, two of which were launched within a week of the invasion.

"They aren't the Republican Guard." But Saddam's most loyal fighters remain entrenched farther north, outside the capital and in Saddam's hometown of Tikrit. While their numbers are dwindling by the day--from desertions if not from U.S. bombs...
