There are news articles on this, but there seems to be no FR thread. I'm not inclined to start one because the 29 number sounds to me just too low. Here's a 5/1 FR thread from the NY Times:
Loss Estimates Are Cut on Iraqi Artifacts ("Twenty-five pieces is not the same as 170,000.")
It seems that some of the items were in underground and other vaults (possible translation: museum officials couldn't smuggle them out soon enough). Artifacts from Iraq have been showing up on the antiquities market for the last decade, and there's been no independently verified audit or catalog of the museum's contents for decades.

The one place to start getting US out of the UN is congress.
Before any action is going to be taken by congress, the UN supporters there have to be removed.
The best way to identify an UNamerican congress person is by visiting
http://www.cunr.org/guide.html And tell your friends.

Soon, the hungry patrons came running. "It was chaos, wild, something out of a war scene," said one Aramark executive who was present. "They took everything, even the silverware," she said. Another witness from U.N. security said the cafeteria was "stripped bare." And another told TIME that the cafeteria raid was "unbelievable, crowds of people just taking everything in sight; they stripped the place bare." And yet another astonished witness said that "chickens, turkeys, souffles, casseroles all went out the door (unpaid)." Sound familiar?
And there even wasn't a war going on.
And these crooks had the gall to act surprised at what happened in Baghdad?

There are a zillion restaurants within walking distance of the UN. But the "diplomats" are such habitual crooks it would never occur to them to NOT raid and loot the UN facilities.
I had lunch in the delegate's dining room a few years ago....it was quite posh, the food was good, and I think the prices were reasonable, tho I did not have to pick up the tab.

No Sumarian Vases were harmed or damaged during the looting, so this is a non-story.

The takers included some well-known diplomats Names? There have to be some young hungry reporters out there who can find them. ;-)

Maybe you'd like to sign the petition over at
just15.org, a Liberty Committee project. DeLay's recent comments indicate that he is softening up on bringing a 15-minute standard vote to the floor on getting America out of the U.N. Go sign it.

I'm puzzled. It was obviously all a Zionist plot to discredit the UN, but how did those wily Jews achieve it?

The World Bank in DC also has a cafeteria and several private dining rooms. The cafeteria itself has eight or ten "ethnic" sections: Asian, South Asian, African, etc., and of course a normal deli. All pretty good food, and inexpensive (certainly cheaper than going out for lunch).
There were never any food riots there, which is surprising given the cast of obvious thugs and political criminals you'd see sliming through the halls during any given week.

They don't pay US income tax either. Tha't OK as our diplomats don't pay income tax in the foreign countries they are in. But, most assuredly our diplomats do pay sales tax and VAT in those same countries.
Bush needs to put a stop to all this mollycoddling of this den of thieves, thugs, and murderers.
Let's review Jefferson's words again:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Governments are instituted to secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness to the people who create the governments. The UN is a government created by the countries of the world to help achieve life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I claim that they no longer are working to achieve those objectives; even that they are destructive of these ends.
It is therefore our obligation to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new form of United Nations in a form that is most likely to secure our safety and happiness.
