>>What makes you think the museum had all the stuff inside some say they do?<<

There are local Iraqis (employees) who are still alive, and who were present when looting happening, and they said everything was there before the US invasion. And I am sure they can proof it. It will be another matter whether you believe it. Some people only believe the things they want to believe.

>>Weren't the British there during and after WW1? There is some pretty good stuff in London :-)<<

British, as well as a bunch of imperialists in 19th century, wanted to colonize China even since early 19 century, although they have never succeeded. Don't you know anything about Opium War in 1840? do a search using google, you will know more.

>>but what would your reaction have been to Marines shooting looters?<<

I would applaude for the US marines because they would have done the mankind a big favor, and most of Iraqi people would applaude too.
