...diplomacy was as stunning as its precision: from the reluctance to use maximum force for the first few nights to the patient efforts to secure a mass surrender to the decision - even after the awesome bombing began - to leave the electricity in Baghdad untouched and the public infrastructure intact. Donald Rumsfeld at war seems far more tactful than Donald Rumsfeld in peace...
