expressing sorrow over the looting could simultaneously be participating in it.

Human beings are ugly isn't it? Especially in the time of natural or man made disaster. You bring out the worst and the best of one's character. When you find out there's really nothing you can do to stop it, why not join it.

In 1856, China experienced a similar disaster when the British and French stormed the famous imperial Garden Yuan Ming Yuan. while pillage was running wild, the local Chinese also joined the spree. Eventually, the looting of the Iraqis' Museums, libraries will be one the darkest moments in Iraqi history, just like the burning of the Yuan Ming Yuan in Chinese history. And they will be in the hall of shame in the coming generations, forever!

So now people start to wondering why Iraqis doing this or doing that. That's a very good question, especially when you don't understand the people yet act under their name.

Oh BTW, I'm really wondering out loud why the Iraqi Oil Ministry got the first class protection from the very beginning?
