If you have satellite TV check out the coverage on Euronews (TG4 has Euronews sometimes, maybe RTE 1 does early in the morning too?)

Iran, according to Israel's representatives in the White House is the next target for "preventive war".

Kabul: Pace of reconstruction 'frustrating' says military chief From Phil Reeves in Lahore, Pakistan 23 March 2003 As American and British cruise missiles create havoc in Baghdad, a US general has accused the West of failing to do enough to rebuild the last country visited by President Bush's military – Afghanistan.
