Babylon is also the site of the first civilization in the world. We MUST protect history and protect the records of history, and it is stupid to assume that short-term profits of oil company contractors and Wall Street bankers and finance leaders are more important than the history of an entire nation and people.

Here are the websites where I recieved the news about this incident:

And, here is a movement already started to an extent on this, but I hope that they join with us to counter this irreparable plan of damage and destruction:

We are trying to reach as many people as possible to convince the Iraqi government from giving into the Wall Street investing bankers and the Oil contractors that are destroying so much of Iraq's precious culture and history. We MUST stop this, for Babylon is a precious part of the history of mankind, and if we lose it, we will lose that part of our history FOREVER.

Let us stand, humanity everywhere! Everyone who agrees with me on this, please join in!
