I see that others have already responded to your ersatz history and your equally fake rationale for the war.

I have been bemused by the recent descriptions of the “treasures” claimed to have previously resided in the museum in Baghdad. I have heard of the Louvre and the British Museum. I have heard of the antiquities preserved in Athens, Cairo and Rome. But until now, the treasures of Baghdad have somehow never made it into the headlines, and the Baghdad museum never made it into the Grand Tour of the treasures of antiquity.

But since the museum was looted – apparently by insiders – we are suddenly hearing about the tremendous treasures once found there. Well, forgive me for being skeptical, but I have also heard about the invincible Republican Guard, the implacable hostility of the Arab Street, the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis slaughtered in this war, the bombing of hospitals, and all the other extravagant claims made by those who opposed this war. So put me down as “undecided” about the “incredible treasures” that are “forever lost.”

And, by the way, “frigging” is rather juvenile.

Actually, if you take his "rationale" (using that term VERY loosely) to its logical conclusion, since Sadam and his cronies were systematically looting the museum prior to the invasion, we were justified in our actions if for no other reason than to stop the "rape of the antiquities".

I think.

We sawon Foxnews people running out of the museum with stuff. And then they showed a lot of broken stuff.

I just hope all the clay tablets were not broken.

I try to respect the mores of where I am. It isn't accepted by most of the many Christians around here to even say "hell," let alone F@CK F@CK F@CK F@CK F@CK F@CK F@CK.

As Chesterton, I believe, said: A gentleman is one who never offends someone else unintentionally.
