Better to have 25 million people remain enslaved under the tyrant's boot than to lose some historical artifacts? This is left-wing grasping for negatives in an laughable attempt to cloud an overwhelming victory against tyranny. I'd say releasing tortured prisoners might be a slightly higher priority. How would any of these idiots like it if they were tortured prisoners treated as a lower priority than an artifact?

We bombed the hell out of Germany to end the Nazi regime and destroyed historical items and buildings. Did anyone choose preservation of artifacts as being more important than getting rid of the Third Reich?

Has this info been mentioned on NBC/CBS/ABC? They were so anxious to put the info out there that America was somehow complicit in the desctruction! I wonder if they'll be as forthcoming now that folks know more about the real situation.
