You mean it wasn't looted?

I'll thank you to NOT make fun of the greatest cultural atrocity in the HISTORY of mankind.

Sorry, but that distinction goes to the burning of the library at Alexandria.

This was more of a cultural atrocity than the Nazi's stealing every single piece of art in Eastern and western Europe? Or the Nazi's trying to kill every member of an actual culture(Jews)? Interesting. Do you have a vested intrest in Iraq that would bias your opinion?

The cultural loss experienced with looting in Iraq is nowhere near the magnitude of the loss associated with the destruction of that ancient library that held many one-of-a-kind scrolls. Sorry but the name escapes me.

Compared to that, the cultural loss in Iraq seems like the cultural damage inflicted when it was proven that Milli-Vanilli were just lip-synchers.

Hmmmm...What was the name of that library and who looted it?

I hope you are kidding! Nothing in that part of the world is the greatest ANYTHING!

Before Iran fell to islamic pondscum as the Shah died, I walked the same stones as Esther in the ancient capital of Persepolis (phonetic spelling). Got lotsa pictures. After the islamic pondscum took over the country, they destroyed the area, razed the archeological restoration and undid all the work of the historians who were trying to piece it all together.

Iran, Iraq, it's all the same; pondscum! If the museum in Bagdad simply ceased to exist, with all contents, it might be sad but, certainly, no cultural atrocity. Islam is the cultural atrocity (which they prove by their own actions, on a daily basis)!

Stay vigilent, stay armed, and never trust a muslim or a liberal, both terrorists wanting to kill or control you, differing only in weaponry and technique!
