Bahgdad Museum Circa 1972

As Americans we can all be proud that our military allowed the destruction of this museum during the invasion of Iraq. Yet another crime against humanity we can all brag about while "supporting our troops."

Our military leadership is seriously compromised with officers unrepresentative of American values. So when we say "support our troops" let's remember that the guys doing the fighting are not the ones giving the orders. That said, we must remain true to our values and criticize those "troops" that need criticism.

The destruction of this museum is inexcusable and was avoidable - which makes one wonder if it was allowed on purpose.
