Glad to See This

One thing you don't hear about regarding this mess we've gotten ourselves into over there in Iraq and Afghanistan is the impact on the historical objects in those countries.

After all, Iraq, as Mesopotamia was one of the cradles of civilization. Unfortunately, war has little respect for antiquity.

I'm glad to see that this problem is being addressed in the form of 50,000 decks of cards being given to our troops in those countries. Each card shows artifacts and sites in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary damage to them as well as hoping to curb the illegal trade of said objects.

Definitely a Good Idea. --RoadDog
