Just a reminder:

On 10 April 2003, the first day the Baghdad Museum was looted, President Bush said this in his message to the Iraqi people:

Coalition forces will help maintain law and order, so that Iraqis can live in security. We will respect your great religious traditions ...

The next day, looting continued at the museum, and three days after that, the Iraq National Library and Archives was burned along with the Islamic Library of Qur'ans.

So much for respecting religious traditions.
