The number and value of stolen items are disputed. A campaign was launched soon after the loss, with the help of the British Museum , to catalog and eventually recover looted works. Appeals by the museum resulted in some items being returned. Others clearly were stolen by

Iran in Iraq (Public) Original message "Unnecessary fear of another Khomeinism in Iraq" Posted by Irani on Nov-18-04, 12:57 PM (GMT) I'm copying this piece from a webblog as i think the writer has made a good point; "Saddam is gone and I am extremely happy. He was our (as an Iranian) greatest enemy and although Bush administration is a bigger threat to the world than Saddam, it doesn't neccessarily mean that bad will can not do good. Whatever happens to Iraqi people is far better than a beast like Saddam. Also I am very happy that Tony Blair is with there with Bush and he doesn't let the arrogant Hawks do whatever they want to do. The only thing here is that I think there is no need to worry about Iran and it's influence on the future of Iraq. History has proven that ecxept for Hizbollah which had a releatively legitimate reason to be so fanatic, Shiite Muslims are much more flexible and tolarant than Sunni people. If any Iraqi only visits Iran once, he/she will see that there is no anti-western feeling in Iran as the most Shiite country in the region. So how could they be anti-western when their ideolgical leader is not like that? Don't worry about a few fanatic leaders who rule Iran right now. Even Shitte Iraqi opposition groups know that they can not count on them. They are quite aged and unpopular, without any clear future.

56. Iraq's Culture Of Violence - Middle East Quarterly - Summer 2001 iraq s culture of Violence Middle East Quarterly - Summer 2001. http://www.meforum.org/article/101

Home About the Forum Middle East Quarterly MEF Campus Clubs ... Contact Editor Iraq's Culture of Violence by Shafeeq N. Ghabra No Arab people have been so traumatized by dictatorial rule, foreign adventurism, and war as the Iraqis under Saddam Husayn. To a considerable extent, the cause has been the Iraqi regime's failure to build a national identity that includes all Iraqis. It was this absence of integration that contributed directly to the rise of Saddam Husayn, who emerged from Iraq's need for a power stronger than its divisions. Saving the Iraqis from totalitarian rule and Iraq's neighbors from further depredations will therefore be no easier, but also no harder, than bringing to Iraq a policy of domestic inclusiveness. But is that possible or is Iraq doomed to repeat its wars? And if it is possible, to what extent does such inclusiveness depend on a new restructuring of the relationship between state and society?  Background: Needing a Tyrant Iraq's politics are shaped by various factors, including its naval and strategic confinement and its geographic remoteness from involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict. But by far the most central factor has been the government's failure to build a national identity that meaningfully incorporates all Iraqis. This helps explain Baghdad's inflexible position toward internal political reform and its aggressiveness abroad. Iraq has a diverse population. It is 80 percent Arab, with its non-Arabic-speaking groups comprising Kurds (a significant 15 percent of the population), Turkomans, and Assyrians. Iraq's population is 97 percent Muslim, 65 percent of which is Shi‘a. (Chibli Mallat breaks down the population somewhat differently: 55-60 percent Arab Shi‘a, 15-20 percent Arab Sunni, and 20 percent Sunni Kurds.) Prior to 1920, these three groups had no shared experience of living together within a modern state system. While all shared Ottoman rulers, the Basra province was distinct from the Baghdad province, and the province of Mosul in the north remained a disputed territory claimed for some years by Turkey. Iraq was so fractured that when the Ottoman empire collapsed, neighborhoods in the southern city of Najaf separately declared their independence and wrote separate constitutions. In Mosul, civil strife erupted between neighborhoods.

This region is known as the Cradle of Civilization; was the birthplace of the varied civilizations that moved us from prehistory to history. An advanced civilization flourished in this region long before that of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, for it was here in about 4000BC that the Sumerian culture flourished The civilized life that emerged at Sumer was shaped by two conflicting factors: the unpredictability of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which at any time could unleash devastating floods that wiped out entire peoples, and the extreme richness of the river valleys, caused by centuries-old deposits of soil. Thus, while the river valleys of southern Mesopotamia attracted migrations of neighboring peoples and made possible, for the first time in history, the growing of surplus food, the volatility of the rivers necessitated a form of collective management to protect the marshy, low-lying land from flooding.
