"A tip-off came to the museum, we were given an address that led us to a juvenile, then an older man and eventually the culprit. "

This is a GREAT sign. A sense of identity might be returning to the Iraqi people - part of their NON-religious cultural heritage.

When we leave, hopefully we will leave them with a sense of unity - their former leaders kept them under foot by keeping the old hates bubbling - each blaming the other instead of Saddam.
