"I was down that horrible Highway 18 in Iraq, interviewing some people after a Red Cross man had been murdered. I was standing by the roadside, and the road started to move. I thought, "My God, it's an earthquake." Around the corner and coming up the highway was an American infantry division. Thousands and thousands and thousands of soldiers. Abrams tanks, Bradley armored vehicles, transporters, truck after truck with the infantry, all wearing shades, rifles pointing out the side like porcupines. It took almost an hour to pass, and all the time the ground shook. "

"I remember thinking that 2,000 years ago, a little bit to the west of where I was standing, we would have been feeling the vibration of centurions feet: tromp, tromp, tromp. I began to wonder...if this didn't represent the visceral need to project power..."
