ANDREW COYNE in the National Post:

Take the famous "bombing of Baghdad": a bombing so terrible that the lights are still on, the bridges are intact and the cars are in the streets; a bombing so brutal a Canadian peace activist interviewed by The Globe and Mail was moved to describe it as "tiring" ("I'm totally sick of being bombed"); a bombing with so many civilian casualties that Robert Fisk could personally visit them all.
