[4] Vase returned!

[Guest guest]

[i mean this not to sound pre-judgemental in a pejorative way but

wouldn't you have found that the Muslims there would have exercised

more civility and self control?]

 

I wonder how much self-control anyone would have when you are being

barraged by 2,000 pound bombs, enemy soldiers storming your streets

and social services and structures collapsing? All of those years of

frustration, tension not to mention the pressure of an impending doom

of another war. A war which is turning out to have been completely

bogus on it's face.

 

But I digress on that last point.

 

There has been no religion or high-minded philosophy that has been

able to over-ride millions of years of animal response, knee-jerk

reactions. It's easy to be enlightened on the mountain top but when

there's mass chaos in the valley it's a little harder to be a picture

of perfection and purity for the majority of people

 

Besides, it's not as if all of the Muslims and other religionists in

the country were looting the museums, running wild in the streets.

Some people have the strength of Will to become more than they are,

to apply themselves to a more refined ideal and some do not, for

whatever reason.

 

Om Krim Kali!

Lets be frank and fair its all preplanned western action to plunder the third

world of its riches; culture and artefacts. They been at it for centuries and

will continue till possession of stoilen artefacts are made a crime and it

should be returned to the country of origin. But then what will western museums

have?
