” Given that tourism is about 10% of GDP, most people there should understand what good the museums (and tourists) are for. “
It’s very possible that I lack imagination, here, but I just can’t picture a participant in a rioting/looting mob stopping to ask him/herself “What am I doing to the GDP??”...
Thanks for the laugh. Yeah, I guess you’re right ; ) I agree, but there are others, civilians, who would want to prevent needless destruction/looting.
