Scholars aim to protect Iraqi heritage Almost 130 scholars and Middle Eastern experts from around the world have signed an "open declaration" call­ ing on governments to protect the archaeological heritage of Iraq from the ravages of war and its aftermath. ''The extraordinary global significance of tire monuments, museums and archaeological sites of Iraq imposes an oblig­ ation on all peoples and governments to protect them," the declaration said. "In any military conflict, that heritage is put at risk, and it appears now to be in grave danger." The declaration, published last week in the journal Sci­ ence, was sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and closely mirrored a recently passed institute resolution endorsed by·U.S. scholars. · Iraq is the ancient land of Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers ..:... the cradle of the ancient civ­ ilizations of Sumer, Assyria and Babylon, as well as a key cultural center for early Islam and the Ottoman Empire.

Another reason The Beastie Boys and de la Rocha are the only mainstream artists to come out with an antiwar song may be that the war just began March 19.
