Iraqui Looting

Yes, the Iraquis were responsible for the looting of the museums; however, the coalition forces should have been prepared to protect the history and the antiquities. They also should have protected the hospitals which were looted by Iraquis. How can we expect to "democratize" this country if they are nothing more than tribal groups who destroyed their own history?
