Body and Soul: "Here David Rieff indirectly admits to American violation of the laws of war in the first Gulf War, but if you blink you'd miss it.":The long New York Times Sunday Magazine article by David Rieff on the Iraq occupation contained the following passage: One reason for the looting in Baghdad was that there were so many intact buildings to loot. In contrast to their strategy in the first gulf war, American war planners had been careful not to attack Iraqi infrastructure. This was partly because of their understanding of the laws of war and partly because of their desire to get Iraq back up and running as quickly and smoothly as possible.
