Thanks to everyone who has sent me wonderfully engaging responses to my earlier messages. In turn I want to thank everyone who sent to the listserv articles and information for us all to weep over and add to our just-in-case files. This morning I listened to public radio's Connection with Dick Gordon broadcasting from the museum in Baghdad (http://www.theconnection.org/shows/2003/04/20030416_a_main.asp) and read a Boston Globe op-ed piece "Iraq's lost cultural treasures" by BU archaeology professor, Paul Zimansky, and Elizabeth Stone, Stony Brook. Neither minces words about American responsibility for this disaster. Ruth Ruth S.
