Temporary News Box: War In Iraq
Note:
"Gateways To Babylon" have never political and never will.
We think however that it is important to point out that the ancient
sites of our cultural forefathers are as well endangered as the people
themselves in Iraq. We should keep an eye upon that, so for as long
as the war keeps going on, we will include related news links here.
Please feel encouraged to send in any news you find about the possible
or ongoing destruction of the ancient sites in Iraq as well as the
endangered environment in general. Thank you so much and peace be
upon you wherever you are.
