<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Meat man, post: 24794829, member: 135271&quot;]You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think it&#039;s myopic to declare that anti-Western sentiment has <i>nothing</i> to do with the recent frenetic flurry of moralizing over cultural heritage and repatriation. The whole topic is nearly always framed as a debate between the evil, thieving, oppressive, colonialist Western powers and the victimized indigenous populations. It&#039;s almost never presented as a rational discussion about how to best protect archaeological sites and artifacts from looting - to which problem there are solutions, but unfortunately many governments seem utterly uninterested in implementing them, which may tell you something about their priorities. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t want to get too far into the weeds with this but I think it&#039;s important to point out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
