<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2093691, member: 39&quot;]The reports about what those IS &quot;fighters&quot; have done or are doing to those objects are saddening. (And what they do in other regards is even worse.) Problem is, what if soldiers invade, in the name of freedom, a country and steal lots of ancient objects, or if the locals do the same thing in such a phase? They will do it for the money, sure, so they are unlikely to destroy what they stole, but the objects are still not public any more. Another question is, who gets to decide whether cultural heritage can be &quot;exported&quot;? The Moroccan government, just as an example, is unlike to OK such measures, Morocco is politically quite stable. Now of course the latter may change, but is it really legitimate to say that - because the situation may become troublesome one day - exports should now be allowed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
