But even Fewer in the West grieved at much older Churches looted, burned and bombed in Syria, and Palestine. Even less so with sacking of Palmyra. I guess we are still tribal on that respect.

It was RT who enlightened me as to the significance of Palmyra the first time it was ransacked & partially destroyed when they reported on the museum curator being murdered by IS for protecting the artefacts ....

Utterly awe-inspiring building to visit, i'm sure they will rebuild it. Tomorrow on my walk back from work i'm going inside the C12th church and C2nd Roman ruins on my route in town and dropping off a donation. We should appreciate and treasure our historic buildings more.

On another note, have you seen the increasingly nutty stuff posted by emptywheel about Julian Assange and Wikileaks?

This! The same grief I felt when I learned ISIS deliberately destroyed history reliques. Ancient buildings and artifacts are all we have left from humans before us
