In Kuwait yesterday, Colin Powell said, “we were concerned about some of the looting that took place in the museum in Baghdad… the United States understands its obligations [under the Hague Convention] and will be taking a leading role with respect to antiquities in general, but this museum in particular.” He also promised that Coalition™ forces would work to “secure the facility,” which would be terrific news, if there were anything left in the facility.

Powell also gave assurances that the United States will also “participate in restoring that which has been broken.” Several tubes of Krazy Glue are on their way now.
