Well, it won't be considered Saddam's legacy really, but I get your point, and I disagree that the things are lost. If these things were stolen, it will be for their value. They will be traded up and appear on open markets for sale. Some things will be lost for a long time, but that will increase their intrique and value when found. Plundering of artifacts is not new, I think the antiquities trade depends on it over the years... It started with grave robbers ;~D.
