"Lots of "talk" on this one. Is everyone just accepting as fact that this is one of the "five greatest museums in the world"????"

I'm late tonight for getting into this thread, but.........
I'm just wondering about the tourism industry in Iraq the past 20 years or so and how many people visited this museum, including all those that bemoan the loss of various pieces, And I do agree that some pieces were pilfered away before the war started, that we did not bomb the place, and that we can but did not 'protect' everything while our troops were fighting.
I do think the environmental impact of the 700 oil wells burning in Kuait did leave a lasting impression, and our war plans took that into account.
Could we know that Iraq was using Mosques for Republican Guard meetings - but we didn't fire on them anyway.
Could we know that hospitals were used for command centers...... but we didn't go for them.
Could we know that ALL schools were used for ammo dumps?
Could we know that the Olympic Stadium and facilities there were used by Saddam's son for imprisoning and torturing the people of Iraq?
We did good. Columnists leaning towards the left will find fault with something.... anything..... cause 'wrong' sells. *sigh*

And I actually like Hannity. *L* And I think he's part of the reason that conservativm is increasing in it's strength and becoming a less silent majority, and more of a vocal one. That's not a bad thing. But.... people can choose to have different opinions, especially about personalitites. Which is the precise reason the left is so vocal now...... they can NOT stand Bush's personality. *shrug*
