Must it ever change by dealing with Iran?<BR/><BR/>This is what the law of Britain always said "Do not deal with Terrorists!"<BR/><BR/>This is a free country, why can't they deal? they can just offer the money as they can afford it. At the end of the day, they are dealing. Surely, the Iranian government can afford these Artifacts as the Oil like this case comes from under the ground. Freely, they deliver the Oil wherever they want and they say that they are helping the globe, so is this helping the world by taking Artifacts into International Museums eventually, for members of the public and the world to easily view as they would not be so easily viewed on Iran's soil. <BR/><BR/>These 18 pieces may have been revealed to court. However, one may think how many other pieces are rotating in the black market that we do not hear about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35183976.post-54147347890325340612008-04-24T05:26:00.000-05:002008-04-24T05:26:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, we know that some of these Artifact...Unfortunately, we know that some of these Artifacts were delivered here to the UK by the son of one of the most important leaders of Iran. Therefore, the Iranian government must first correct some of the corrupt people internally. Even if these Artifacts are returned to Iran, it is very possible that they will again be delivered again by individuals from the government. We believe that the Iranian government must first make sure that Artifacts do not come out of Iran no matter what type of relic. So far, they have only recognised this particular item, that being from Jiroft. However, there are hundreds of peices coming out of Iran that they do not know about, just because there are hundreds of Iranian items being sold in Auctions and Museums round the world, why are they not after those items. I'll give you an example from the Iranian government. If an article with the same situation left from here to Iran, you would not know about it whatsoever because there is not such an open court in Iran. So, please do not destroy the democracy of the UK if you believe in it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
