    I agree.  Isn't it fortunate that from the perspective of time, it
    turns out that the looting at the museum was far far less than
    originally reported. From what I've read, the vast majority of the
    collection remains intact and undamaged.   I've read that there were
    indeed a few major and important items stolen which have not yet been
    recovered,  but it appears, at least from what I've read in the news,
    that the initial reports of widespread catastrophic 
    looting of the collections were not true.
