Let's see ... literally saving Iraqi civilians who were being shot at or already wounded and liberating a country or saving "alleged" Iraqi treasures ... boy that is a tough one.

Dear Bryce,
Clearly you have an advanced case of syphillus of the brain.
Please contact the clinic for your long overdue high-dosage "experimental" prescription.
Good luck at the "undisclosed location" somewhere in Mexico...

The treasures housed in this museum did not belong to Iraq alone; these were the oldest heirlooms of humanity. They belonged to every one of us. These treasures were not unique. There are others housed in museums and private collections around the world. There are books that describe these artifacts.
There are even more such items still in the ground gathering dust.
If the commoners were so anxious to clear the museum of valuable artifacts (anyone know how to traffick a black market relic for thousands of dollars?) why didn't they also loot the known historial sites? After all, any provonance that would come from taking an item from the museum would curse it by tagging it as "stolen".
If someone can sneak a fragile artifact out of the country, they could also smuggle out other more dangerous contraband. This gets no attention from the NY Times or other papers of record; they continue to question whether Saddam had any WMD.

The libs currently control the language on this issue but FR has been able to influence the language a lot this year...
This needs to be called what it was "a HEIST", not "looting".

Tea and crumpets? I think not! We have the (Canadian) PST and GST to pay....
Note that this is very soon after April 15th.... The annual raping of America.

Can we unload on the liberal mayor of LA, Chicago, or some other dense populated example of "Gore Country" the next time there is a riot after a sports championship? "You knew that this would happen...". Maybe we can even extend that blame to the team and team owner, his guys should've thrown the game to avoid the economic hardships it would bring their city By Golly, that's a grand idea!

Ever hear of kiddie taxes? Taxes on imaginary capital gains?
I know the burden of which ye live under. We across the pond live under a similar burden.... It's just divvied up differently..

Relics are nothing but the trash of previous generations. Start saving that Tupperware now because in one thousand years it will be a priceless relic.
