Since you bring it up, actually my friend, it was. The idiots in the administration didn't think that we needed to provide security after we invaded. That was not the view of the professional military, many of whom were fired for saying that they needed the troops to properly do the job. Collin Powell stated that "if you break it you own it," but Powell is much maligned around here for disagreeing with the Bush bots.
Too bad the radical fringe Islamists like the Taliban would destroy these priceless works of art from the ancient civilizations of Iraq if they have the opportunity.
