Desdicado - there was seriously looting and pillaging going on after the curtain fell in Eastern Europe. Also in Russia after the Czar fell.
So it's no surprise in what's going on in Iraq.

Besides I think most of the looting has been mainly govt buildings that were opulent and gaudy anyways (thanks to saddam's lavish spending while his own people starved).

As for Israel, you keep forgetting that it's been continually under a state of siege since 1948 and still is at war. A war that the Arab nations started back in 1948.

Yes people can expect to be hassled at airports, buses, checkpoints etc and taken away for questioning without due process by the Israeli police.

But not a day goes by that some cafe or disco gets blown up.

Israel doesn't need liberating...what is needed is for both sides to be more tolerant as well as begin serious negotiations among the lead Arab nations and Israel.

But no one is taking the lead yet.
