Alita, You may be interested to look at and contribute to, the FORUM section of Global Museum. http://globalmuseum.myikonboard.com Just click on the topic link "the war in Iraq" To quote a Canadian colleague - " I'm worried about the antiquities and archaeological sites in Iraq. Not only are they in danger from the war, but afterward, should a fundamentalist Islamic regime take power, they might have no respect for these remnants of a past that they don't see as theirs." or from a colleague in the Middle East: " Is it really going to be finished only with Iraq? As a person living in middle east and professionally involved in conservation of cultural heritage, I should confess that here is always a shadow of fear of unstable future" best wishes Roger [log in to unmask] > I thought the list might find this article of interest, though many may have already read it. > Cheers, Alita Pierson Graduate Student University of Washington ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
