"Keys to vaults"??? "US couldn't have protected museums if it wanted"??? Your post does not address to either of these fantastic claims of yours that I objected to i the first place. What was this stuff doing in Baghdad in the first place? Uh. Because the "stuff" was unearthed THERE? And it was THEIR national treasure? Baghdad's citizens merely helped themselves to the few things that were left, whether office furniture or potsherds. What's important about a nation's past is not what it keeps walled up in the museum but what it keeps outside, living and breathing as every citizen's inheritance. So basically, this article you have posted has nothing against museum lootings. It seems to agree with Iraqis who looted the museum. Unreal...
