so if the last remaining superpower were to bomb a country in the middle east in preparation for invasion, regime change, etc., that superpower would be well advised to avoid hitting civilian infrastructure, assuming that its bombs were smart enough to target like that?

I believe that Barry Shein was assuming "invasion for a long-term occupation and exploitation", like the Romans did in Gaule in 52 bc. Not "invasion for destroying a regime" like the Allied did in Germany in 1945.
