"HIGHER EDUCATION IS NOT MY PRIORITY"
-- then-governor George W Bush, 1999
Atrios points to a tidbit from the BBC: the Iraqi National Library has been completely destroyed.
We let this happen. Argh. But we're still ruthlessly guarding the Oil Ministry!
Bush recently went on the air to Iraqis and told them that they were a "gifted" people (of course when he says that he means ethnic). What does it say about Bush's respect for Iraq's history and culture if he has the troops stand idly by while their historical and cultural institutions (museum, library, etc) burn?
