Hey Powerclown,
Thanks for the article on the museum pieces. I always wondered what happened there. It's like a movie waitiing to happen. Maybe Vin Diesel, Angelina Jolie head an all-star cast of adventurers, curators, treasure hunters and looters in a film about how the treasures were stolen and then found. Sort of an updated Indiana Jones pic...ha!
But seriously, theose are priceless relics and can be used in a positive manner in expressing national pride or as a rallying point too. Personally, I think some of these human interest stories an be helpful in the development of Iraq. Especially psychologically.
For example, the Iraqi football (soccer) team was a great source of pride, hope and positivity for the Iraqi people. Yes I know the war sucks and people are dying but there are rays of hope out there. It's how we balance and temper the two that could make a real difference. There's enough negative stories out there for sure, no question nor denial of that. Just searching for positive stories takes a while while combing through the days reality of bombimngs, attacks etc.
Cheers!
