I agree about the Marines "staying out of the way". When people are shooting at you, you tend to put all your attention on that and not on other things. The failure of "looting" earlier at the museum is covered by my theory also.

Your religious leader happy party concept doesn't wash, and you seem to have already accepted the premise that there was some sort of conspiracy amongst the coalition forces to commit some grand criminal scheme. I don't buy that, but if that's what you want to believe, fine with me. Vote for the Democrat in 2004.

The looting on the museum did not begin as early as the looting of other parts of the city. It is worth considering that the neocons were interested in diminishing the history of Metsopotamia and thereby increasing the power of the myth of AngoSaxon inevitability.

You must be joking. If you believe the looting of one museum is going to make those people forget their history, I got some ocean front property in Tennessee for you. And further, to suggest that one would plan this as a way to do that is also ridiculous. If that were the case, why not just bomb the building and say there were weapons stored there? And why not bomb a few religious sites for good measure? Good grief..just preposterous.
