Soldiers initially told not to respond to looters unless their own safety was threatened--the British high command "doesn't want us to make ourselves unpopular here," said a British soldier--were eventually given freer rein. By Friday the BBC was reporting that British soldiers shot and killed five bank robbers in Basra. The Pentagon imposed a nighttime curfew on Baghdad, and on Saturday, despite a fire fight downtown, the capital overall was much calmer. The looting had subsided, residents were returning to the city, and many shops and restaurants had reopened. In days to come, the U.S. hopes...

If Afghanistan had been fought Rumsfeld's way, we might still have commandos mounting up on horseback to hunt down the Taliban. If the war had been fought Franks' way, we might have nabbed Osama bin Laden a long...
