Protecting Iraqi Culture?

Looks like the National Museum in Baghdad is back at the top of some people's compilation of complaints. ALESCO is holding meetings on how the Arab nations are going to protect Iraqi culture in the aftermath of the US-led war.

Their main complaint? The National Museum, again. This despite even the BBC reporting that the number of items missing from the main collection totals up to the whopping total of...........

47 items.

Not the bulk of the collection. Not the majority of it. Not even a significant number out of the 18,000 pieces.

There are 47 pieces unaccounted for.

It's time for the anti-warriors to find something else to latch on to. The looting of the Baghdad museum is becoming almost as discredited as the Afghani death totals.

The looting of the Museum of been pretty well proved to be a non-event. It's time to move on.
