As General franks said, I think our troops have more pressing concerns than dealing with looters.

Being a history person, if they did indeed destroy ancient artifacts than they are barbarians. However, they can't blame US troops for people being barbarians. Was it the LAPDs fault when the looters went nuts in LA? I do think there is more to this story though. I don't have any clue why they would go and smash ancient pots if they did then hopefully the vigilanties in Baghdad will take care of them.

I agree completely with your assessment that there's more to this story. If 'they' were there to loot, as several articles claim, then why would they break anything other than glass cases, etc.

Anyway, I'm sure these treasures of antiquity will find their way back home again. they're not worth anything sitting on a looter's mantle.
