Operation About Freakin’ Time

Coalition forces have decided to enforce a 9:00pm curfew in Baghdad. Good start, but martial law would be much more useful in retrieving our POWs, not to mention that it would prevent cultural disasters such as the looting of the Iraqi Cultural Museum.

Surveying the littered glass wreckage of display cases and pottery shards at the Iraqi National Museum on Saturday, deputy director Nabhal Amin wept and told Reuters: “They have looted or destroyed 170,000 items of antiquity dating back thousands of years…They were worth billions of dollars.”

What a tragedy.
