By the end of the day, most every man in Qubah bore numbers like 600-10 and 730-5, designations for the neighborhood and home they were from according to a grid U.S. troops drew over the village. Lt. Col. Andrew Poppas said the numbering system allowed U.S. troops to tell whether anyone was moving about the village despite a lockdown...

Universities, clinics, industries, social welfare, housing, an agricultural system watered by a complex national irrigation grid, the world's largest diamond-polishing industry, defense industries. A going concern. One of the best armies in the world. Miraculous. But also the result of an infusion of about $43 billion in American Government aid over the years, and millions more contributed privately by Jews in America and elsewhere...
