""I still find it hard to believe this is happening," Clemens Reichel told the Huffington Post. "Since the 2003 Iraq War, my work as a field archaeologist has changed forever. Sometimes it feels more like an undertaker's work." Reichel, a Mesopotamian archaeologist at the University of Toronto, is former editor of the Iraq Museum Database Project at the University of Chicago's Oriental Institute. The scope of the catastrophe taking place cannot be overstated, said Reichel."
I remember we were all horrified and angry about it (these yankees with their large boots, it's all they are capable of, invading people who are not even related to alquaïda and destructing ancient culture they never had). However, it clearly obeyed to the purpose of humiliating the defeated nation and its ancient civilization for political and strategic reasons. Here, I would think their purpose is more on the line : "before us and apart from us, nothing worth exists, you the rest of the world beware of this".

The United States military turned the site of ancient Babylon into Camp Alpha in 2003 and 2004, inflicting serious damage according to an exhaustive damage assessment recently released by UNESCO. Bulldozers leveled many of Babylon's artifact-laden hills. Helicopters caused structural damage to an ancient theater.
