Down the Memory Hole
From a letter to the L.A. Times
...our occupation leaders stood idle and permitted the looting and vandalism of the wonderful Baghdad Museum, but, hey, we'll have a great state-of-the-art prison to be proud of.

Nearly lost in the death, destruction, and criminal idiocy of the invasion and occupation of Iraq is the fact that countless irreplaceable artifacts from the cradle of civilization have been stolen and destroyed. This immense historical tragedy is the result of a willful act of negligence on the part of the Bush administration, which cares nothing for these cultural treasures. The arrogance and incompetencee of these bastards is astounding.
Damn them all.
