Why would thieves steal thousand year art that had no real value but that was Iraq's national treasure? You can't cook with it. Can't sleep under it. Can't run the air conditioner with it. Yet they even dragged art so heavy as to damage the floor, busting the artwork in the process - only to steal. Tens of thousands of artifacts stolen only because it was someone elses?
Many thieves will say it was their right to steal it because the owner did not properly protect it. Well Rumsfeld said it was not stolen. Does a second lie negate the first? And we call it civilization.
