Don't worry, antiquities lovers, most of the good Sumerian and Assyrian artefacts have been in the British Museum in London for decades now.

Many others are in other European and American museums as well. Western archaeologists in the 19th and 20th centuries picked the place pretty dry, and not much was left "in situ". For reasons that are now pretty obvious.

And someone tell that idiot Mr. Muhammad that he ought to be blaming Saddam for the humiliation of the Iraqi people - who were enslaved by a sadistic dictator for 25 years and had to be "liberated" by a hated American military power against the will of almost the entire Arab world.

That is MY definition of humiliation, chum. We liberated your sorry asses and if you cant show gratitude then shut the fuck up.
