ADCAEA Comments on Syria Import Ban



Inside the "Islamic State"

On the news: "President Signs Engel Bill to Stop ISIS From Looting Antiquities New Law Cracks Down on Funding Source for ISIS While Protecting Syria’s Cultural Heritage" (May 9, 2016)m, the Association of Dealers and Collectors of Ancient and Ethnographic Art remarks:
A great move: this shall certainly stop ISIS from "looting" antiquities, shame it won't stop them from destroying antiquities which I think to be the more true and pressing issue.
More evidence, if any were needed, that our lawmakers really have lost track of what is the most important. Leaving precious ancient art in Syria at the mercies of reckless raghead barbarians with their hammers and acid really is not a policy of wisdom.
