I never mentioned ebay. That was somebody else's idea - and I believe it was said in jest though I am not certain. I believe if government or museum officials took them it would have been from their own sense of nationalism and not necessarily to sell. How do you fit arson of these manuscripts into you supposed plot to take the treasures .... I suppose they should have put the Koran in the same vault with the other stuff they boxed up. Or perhaps if they had spent a bit more on the welfare of the populace, their own people would not have felt the need to do what they did.

Tiger Paw - have you even once posted anything of the horrors committed by Saddam and his henchman? You must have read about the tortures, the killings, the rapes, the genocide of the Kurds, etc. If you want to focus on property, did you see the millions lavished on the elite, including Saddam and his sons? All this, while the population as a whole suffered. I think you are missing the main points by arguing that Rumsfield wanted this museum trashed. I don't think even the Anti-War people have posted in support of your illogical postings. No offense meant.
