Above all the terrible crimes committed against Civilization by the United States in the invasion of Iraq should be recorded and the U.S.charged with these crimes - especially the priceless artefacts which are evidence of the civilization; they must be taught and urged to make some restitution for what was robbed and destroyed over the centuries. Many in the United States are too ignorant and too chauvinistic to appreciate the extent of the destruction that has been wrought by their army and their government in their name; but they must be taught and be made aware and pressed to make some effort to compensate for the losses we will all suffer as a consequence of their criminal actions.
