American warfare and damage to ancient treausres

here's an article about the damage done to the
great Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian,
and Ottoman antiquities in Iraq, by American
warfare in the 1991 Gulf War.

i shudder to think of what's happening to those
treasures now, in our current "shock and awe"
campaign.

and just as i predicted, the priceless cultural
heritage of Iraq's collection of antiquities has
been irretrevably lost.

This is indeed horrible. And I recall all too well Joe Monzo's passionate
concerns. And US officials were warned (with some quitting in protest). And
the Iraqi Ministry of Oil went untouched. I guess there is no question here
of Bush's priorities.

I still can't see how he can get people together to vote for a government
that he can approve....(as if!)

I hope they can round up the world's sacred objects that were looted from
museums. The word is certainly out that they are loose and they are being
hunted down.

Even in my fevered imagination, I thought it was future digs that were
endangered. I did not think that treasures of the millennia would be looted.

Get some sleep and take vitamin C and feel better, Joe (or however works best
for you). best, Johnny

i wonder how much you find of it at Cheneys secret bunker!
but it is amazing at how much we care about "objects" when it is the people,
which are something we can still do something about are being forgotten or ignored.

More Iraqis have died since the beginning of the occupation than during all of the
bombing. this is extermination by "bureaucracy"
and that is being kind. We (possibly i can say they) will now starve them into
submission.

I'm reminded, at this point, of the movie Cleopatra, in a scene where
a large library containing a large collection of ancient documents is
told to have been put on fire. Cleo herself says something to the
point of... Millions and millions of people may be killed for whatever
reason, but destroying one single human thought... is something i will
never accept. Well whenever somebody dies more than a few human
thoughts are destroyed too! /Ö
