Coalition troops looted and vandalized the Iraqi airport that now must be rebuilt. “Much has been written about how Iraqis complicated the task of rebuilding their country by looting it after Saddam Hussein’s regime fell.

The troops, they say, stole duty-free items, needlessly shot up the airport and trashed five serviceable Boeing airplanes.” Time
