Read the bit about Babylon
Now a 'Coalition' military base.
"Antiquities such as pieces of pottery and coins could still be literally picked off the ground."
Apparently these are now shovelled into sandbags, while "Our Boys" dig trenches to sit in or shit in, depending.
Remeber all that fuss about the Taliban blowing up the giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan? We've done a similar thing with Babylon.
But no-one cares.
That's all. You can get back to your X-Factor now.
