Couldn't ALL looting be described as "redistribution of wealth"?
Armed robbery...redistribution of wealth.
Blackmail...redistribution of wealth.
Shoplifting...redistribution of wealth.
Insurance fraud...redistribution of wealth.
Embezzlement...redistribution of wealth.
The "redistribution of wealth" as justification for:
Hospitals emptied ruining health and safety,
Museums emptied ruining historical record,
Offices that will be required for future civil structure emptied,
Shops and stores emptied ruining businesses and lifetimes of responsible peoples' effort to establish a business,
All of it allowed and encouraged by "the coalition".
What a load of crap..."oh look Mabel...the Iraqis are redistributing wealth...how sweet"

One little piece of wealth is missing from all this redistribution though. The oil ministry was held under tight control by "coalition" troops. Every other ministry building was allowed to be gutted. Didn't about a couple dozen "coalition" mouthpieces clearly hammer away in the media that oil was not the priority of this war?
