If you're going to be annoyed, be annoyed at the museum staff for not taking precuations to protect the valuable property they were charged with.

I wonder how much of the looting was done by the museum staff? After all, they knew what the best stuff was. And, in a sense, much of what was in that museum was already stolen by grave robbers which is, effectively, what archeologists are.

I'm wondering much of the same thing. It is pretty convenient, afterall, to blame annonymous looters, who were able to overcome 'bank-like' vault doors, for making off with priceless treasures.

Let's see...the average museum staff employee probably makes a thousand US a year.

Anyway, for the time being, I'm simply not reacting to much said about the US war effort that's negative. There are too many agenda-driven individuals in the worldwide media that would like to mitigate our success in Iraq.
