Experts shocked by damage inside Palmyra’s museum

During their rule of Palmyra, the militants demolished some of its best-known artifacts and monuments, including two large temples dating back more than 1,800 years and a Roman triumphal archway. The sprawling outdoor site was one of Syria’s main tourist attractions before the civil war.

of course, you know this is BUSH's fault.

3. The same is happening with Yemen's proud heritage sites with the Saudi/U.S. Weapons supplied war-crimes and attacks.

What will be left of the ME when all of this horror finally ends?

It's very, very sad.

note to DUmp monkiez. It isn't us that's destroying these sites on purpose.

4. He is an educated man looking at the work of the severely uneducatated and radicalized.

It's not just Isis that will do this. Any misdirected fundy will pull the same thing. Reminds me, black lives matter got another window smashed in with a brick in one of their offices in NY yesterday. Easter and some hater does that...

I'm very sad for the antiquities loss in this story. Hitler was just educated enough to claim the artificats in the museums where ever the Nazis went instead of destroy them. Sadly the mass bombings by the allies destroyed so many. And, I will argue it was part of pushing back true evil so the allies bombing was necessary.
I hope the House of Saud who has already been traced to funding ISIS - and now ISIS has uniforms and military vehicles - some bought in the US, and professional soldier weapons, choke on this. Because they are educated enough to know how bad this is, and yet they still fund it.

ISIS has a shit load of military equipment from the US because Barry's private islamic army dropped it all and ran at the site of them.

13. I was close to posting a similar comment

But I just didn't want to deal with the obvious head ache of the "Bush (ie. 'we' as in the west) created ISIS" retort, and then be forced to defend Bush and point out he didn't order the destruction of the antiquities, only to get countered by other things he did do, and then spend the evening face palming myself.

You are a brave one sir.

The entire educated world breathed a giant sigh of relief when the bamster was first elected. To show just how bad the situation was prior, things are still not going well 7 years later (it takes a lot of time and energy to stop a train) and the educated and enlightened are still in hate mode. Will take a dem prez at least another 8 years to correct all the misdeeds of the gop.  [/sarcasm]
