One can have sympathy for countries that want artifacts returned. However, given the instabilities-(of various kinds)-exhibited by Third World countries I don't think it is wise. For example, the Buddha destroyed by the Taliban.

I’d quibble a bit — wasn’t about being 3rd world; Islamic terrorists destroyed those Afghan Buddhas as part and parcel and policy of their sick faux religion.
