One of the most abominable crimes is the destruction of historical monuments ...

and ancient  artifacts.  But that is exactly what  the USA-armed and funded "rebels" have been doing in Syria much to the horror of  history lovers around the world.   These and other war crimes  should have been a clear case of hauling the USA to The Hague, but wouldn't you know it, the USA can't be hauled to The Hague no matter what war crimes or atrocities its paid killers commit because the mighty USA has not signed to the ICC document. I was made wiser a few weeks ago by a reader of  this blog to that fact.

....ISIS Destroys 3000 Year-old  Assyrian Artifacts in Syria.
According to a report from the website www.apsa2011.com, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS) has destroyed Assyrian statues and artifacts believed to be 3000 years old.
The Assyrian archaeological artifacts were illegally excavated from the Tell Ajaja site.

Looting of Assyrian artifacts was also carried out in Iraq soon after 2003 by Al-Qaeda, which sold the artifacts to finance its operations. The looting occurred at the Baghdad Museum (AINA 2003-04-19) as well as archaeological sites which were left unguarded as a result of the collapse of the government of Saddam Hussein......
