Wait a second. I thought when the Coalition overthrew Saddam, they placed Iraq's rich collection of ancient artifacts, arhceological sites, libraries, museums in extreme peril. But what this article suggests is that the Coalition allowed Iraq's past to open up to the world.
Never see the MSM or univeristy elitists allow Bush the satisfaction. Bet you 100:1 the archeological dig at Babylon, Ur, Nimrud, and Nineveh will explode in discoveries and information now that peace and civility have returned to Mesopotamia.
:') This dig is in Iran, not Iraq.
The excavation at Nimrud in Iraq has continued, if memory serves, for years, other than during the Gulf War, and of course, until the recent liberation.
Mesopotamia = Arabs = Iraqis
Persia = Persians = Iranians
Huge difference.
