Rodent Regatta

Before anyone rains on this entry, let me assure you that I’m 100% behind our military, its leaders and those who developed a battle plan for Operation Iraqi Freedom. I also took some courses in Biblical Archaeology in college.

Alan Cornett has pointed to an article from the St. Petersburg Times by Sharon Tubbs titled Artillery and Artifacts. Nevermind, for now, what consideration the military did or should have given to The Cradle of Civilization arguments raised by the pacifists. Instead, read the article for the history and the archaeological significance of the region.

My take-away from this article is that under a free Iraq, we may now have access to areas that have been too dangerous or off limits to our researchers for many years.
