The responsibility for the loss of these national treasures lies with the persons who had no regard for their heritage demonstrated by the reckless looting of the national museum, flies in the face of the retherotic about a great, proud culture. The Iraqis people must look inward for these acts of desecration. This was not an action taken as one might think of the spoils of war, as the reporting goes. Place the shame on the looters.
