The Glass is Half Empty

Once again ignoring the fact that millions of people have been liberated and given say in their own lives, the BBC reports on a very serious issue: the loss of antiquities in Iraq.

I'll point out once again, folks, that Saddam parked military assets next to historical sites. If anything, the occupation probably opened things up for greater exploration and more accountability. Is the looting an absolute tragedy? Of course. Is it an unfortunate but necessary by-product of giving freedom to millions of people and preventing future wars? Yep.
