From Metro:

an academic said yesterday that looters should be shot to deter raiding of Iraq’s achaeological treasures. Prof Elizabeth Stone’s appeal came as it emerged the national museum in Baghdad had lost about ten per cent of its artefacts. ‘I would like to see helicopters shooting bullets so people know there is a real price to looting this stuff,’ said Prof Stone, of New York’s Stony Brook University. ‘You’ve got to kill some people to stop this.’

If Saddam had said that, it would have been front page news. An American academic says it and it’s relegated to a footnote.

Regardless of whether or not it was right to go to war, doesn’t she understand why people despised the old regime.
