In Baghdad, looters made off with a priceless collection of irreplaceable antiquities from the National Museum on Saturday, stripping the building of treasures dating back to the dawn of civilization in Mesopotamia.
"They have looted or destroyed 170,000 items of antiquity dating back thousands of years...They were worth billions of dollars," said deputy director Nabhal Amin, weeping.
But the oil's safe, right?
And WE all feel safer, right?
