are you saying the oil fields are not a priceless treasure to the Iraqis?

My answer is no, those oil fields have a price. They will be out of existence for maybe another couple hundred years. But for the treasures, well.

>>are you saying the oil fields are not a priceless treasure to the Iraqis?<<

Exactly, there are so much oil in Iraq. I heard once on NPR, one researcher claimed there are $300 Trillion US dollars worth. equals to 30 years of US GDP.

And those historical heritage with 4000-5000 years of history, once they are gone, they are gone for good. No replacement, whatsoever. So it is called priceless.
