Iraq, a cradle of civilization long before the empires of Egypt, Greece or Rome, was home to dynasties that created agriculture and writing and built the cities of Nineveh, Nimrud and Babylon -- site of Nebuchadnezzar's Hanging GardensMakes perfect sense to me...while children were dying because Saddam hogged [PIGGED OUT!!!] on 'UN Oil for Food' $$$$$$$$$$$$$, 60+ % of Iraqi's lived on table scraps. All the while he rebuilt Babylon!!!
Those who couldn't forsee this 'looting' of the Antiquities Museum truly couldn't translate "The [hand]Writing on the Wall!"
BTW, the Kurds just entered Nineveh [Mosul], but withdrew under pressure from the Turks.

Yes. If this is not a case of Karma biting them in the ass, I don't know what is. S.H. starved, brutalized and slaughtered while precious treasures worth "billions" were safeguarded. Now, Iraqis are free and Iraqi treasures are no more. There's something biblical about this.
