Yiwu, Two items: What makes you think the museum had all the stuff inside some say they do? Weren't the British there during and after WW1? There is some pretty good stuff in London :-) On a second note - we weren't looting - the Iraqi's (and some foreign Arabs) were. Quite different from Imperial expeditions into China.
