QOTD

Libertarian, but anti-Iraq war and anti-Bush writer/editor Radley Balko on March 22, 2003:

Despite my general reluctance to embrace this war, I'd like to make one point that simply can't be emphasized enough: To my knowledge, no country in the history of warfare has spent more money, employed more man hours, and taken more precautions to a) prevent civilian casualties, b) clean up when it's finished, and, c) respect captured enemy combatants. It's something to be proud of, even if you're not so proud of the decision to engage in action to begin with
