I was aware like most I expect of the Islamic State ploy to break the will of the people through the destruction of some of the most precious artifacts in ancient Mesopotamia but until I saw this excellent Dan Cruickshank program on BBC4 the other day I didn't appreciate the possible implication of leaving them unchecked. The threat of losing cultural enlightenment in places such as Egypt should be seen as a genuine concern and threat.
Think this is the first time i've actually found myself genuinely angry at what they're trying to achieve and even more angry that we harbour fervent supporters here in the UK.
Recommend that even if you have a passing interest in this subject that you watch http://bbc.in/1Jqekrv. Pretty much left me incredibly angry and trying to work out what any/all of us could be doing to stop them.
