Actually I think most of the pieces that have been sold internationally were probably done by Saddam, I doubt that ordinary Iraqis had the means to do it, and were probably too terrify to even try.

I bet that Saddam took most of the artifacts, sold them and put the money into Swiss bank accounts.

But the other side is, that the artifacts from the museum are not lost, they are just somewhere else, and most of it was done before we even set foot in Iraq.

But only the very best I'm sure, and probably got his cut of the rest.
