IMO the UK and the US are guilty of unnecessarily and (illegally) kick starting the chain of events which have now led to the eradication of a key part of world history.
If only the Brits, Frogs and German imperialists had been able to loot more than they did in the 19th century  |
So have I got this right? You are blaming us for the destruction of these sites?
How many ordinary men in the street were complicit in sanctioning military action?
Before you answer, I will tell you....none.
The government of the time( Labour wasn't it) headed by the hubristic Tony Blair decided what was to happen.
All so that the said Mr Blair could go down in history...if you really want to blame someone then start there, but do not blame the British people in general...they were totally against military action.....and many politicians were bamboozled into believing the lies told to them, and those that did not,were bullied into supporting the government of the day.
The artefacts have been destroyed, but the history still remains....but then we learn nothing at all from history do we?
