As to the museum, it makes absolutely no sense that they would leave those antiquities in a place they thought would be bombed. I suspect the museum was filled with copies already, Saddam's thugs having previously sold them or snuck them outta the country.

As to the orphanage, yes...God bless those sisters. But one thing disturbed me....6, 7 8 year old children in baby beds...a la the post-Iron curtain baby sales. I hope there was nothing wrong in this case, since having the sisters there alleviates my concerns somewhat.

This story should be widely publicized. There are lots and lots of parents looking to adopt and I bet those kids would be swooped up fast as you can say "bye bye Saddam".

I admit,I was concerned,too ,about the cribs..If they can walk..they must walk.Perhaps my visions of Romania are misplaced. I did not see any sign of any thing else .It might have been for the benefit of the visit that they were all in cribs.
