Oh give it up with the National Museum, will you? Even the curators no longer claim that thousands of objects were looted, it's more like thirty objects.

About the archaeological digs, it may be true that Saddam looted them. But how is that our fault? And if you are apportioning out blame for it anyway, who should be faulted more, those who wanted to keep Saddam in power, or those who wanted to remove him?

Did you see the LA Times article? I bet when they calculate the total killed, not even counting the casualties of the wars, the total will be over a million. In a country of 23 million. Beyond Hitler and Stalin, proportionate to population.
