Dave:
I think that there are probably people of good will,
including archaeologists, historians, and museum people, in
Iraq. They are, in fact, suffering much more than we are
because of their strange and complex history (including, of
course, long-term US support for Hussein). Just because they
are Iraqi doesn't mean that they are evil, any more than
being American is a guarantee of being arrogant, no matter
what people around the world think of us.
