This is a double edged sword. I'm afraid the Arab Community will see this a looting.
I don't think the Arabs will understand the 'symbolism' that the military saw. We know our military can care less for the financial value. This was more seen as an earned mascott (?), (not sure if mascott is the word I want).
I'm afraid the Arab Community will see this a looting. Okay. I guess I'm dense. How is this different from the FOX technical guy being brought up on charges of stealing art & trying to bring it here? Both are objects of art, right? Both belong to the Iraqi people, right? And, if it's true, that one man's trash is another man's treasure, then even this trashed piece of an icon of trash embodied is still art, right?
