So the Oil Ministry was protected, but the museum was not?

That is just about unbelievable.

Jews HAVE to "not steal", but I guess for Moslems it is different, huh?

Bullcrap. These weeping museum directors are Saddam's little butt boys, who enjoyed their perks and salaries while tens of thousands of their fellow Iraqis were raped, tortured and murdered down the street.

Today a revolution is going on in Iraq that is every bit as crucial to the success of free Iraq as our tanks and jets. This revolution is being carried out in government buildings and the homes of the wealthy, who are rightly seen as being toadys and collaborators of Saddam.

The museum is just "collateral damage" in this revolution of rage against symbols of Saddam's kleptocracy. The artifacts will make it back to collections, don't fear.

Anyway, weep for the mothers brothers and sisters and fathers of the million murdered by Saddam, not fat sleek Saddamite museum directors.
