warning: this is a tangent on art and wealth.
Apparently wealthy art patrons have avoided paying taxes on their purchases in Washington state and a Dept. of Revenue investigation into same seems to have been killed by pressure from the elite.

Funny thing about art is its intersection w/ money

Hey Mythago, you wrote:
"Isn't the fighting about whether it is "their" land in the first place, and if not, whose it is?"

My response is: I thought we were talking about Iraq. If someone other than those who are currently living in Iraq has a more valid claim to their land, please let me know.

If I was a native Iraqi, I would certainly view the current hostilities as an invasion rather than a liberation, particularly as the occupying host has been there over a year with no withdrawal in sight.
