As much as I find the state of chaos our country has introduced to Iraq to be quite dispecable, I must admit that I haven't seen so many happy people as these looters in quite a while. It's pretty sad when you think about it.
In related news, looters have ransacked Baghdad's antiquities museum, stealing or destroying numerous artifacts dating back thousands of years. The deputy directory of the Iraqi National Museum blames the Americans for not protecting culturally important sites. But then, what did she expect? Expecting Americans to respect culture is like asking for rats to leave your left overs alone. Everybody knows that.
