Despite the constant attempts to play down the looting of the Iraqi National Museum, the full story is coming out. It is fairly clear, at this point, that a whole bunch of items were missing. It’s also pretty clear that many of them were simply hidden for safekeeping.

The lesson? We owe the Iraqis a debt of thanks for preserving the heritage of Iraq, since we were too busy to do so.

For "heritage of Iraq", read "heritage of human civilization".

The fertile crescent is an important historical spot for the whole damn planet, or at the very least the West and Middle East.
