CAIRO — Would-be looters broke into Cairo's famed Egyptian Museum, ripping the heads off two mummies and damaging about 10 small artifacts before being caught and detained by army soldiers, Egypt's antiquities chief said Saturday.

    How incredibly sad, why would you do such a thing?! I just hope this is as bad as it gets. R=EM

    Before the army arrived, young Egyptians -- some armed with truncheons grabbed off the police -- created a human chain at the museum's front gate to prevent looters from making off with any of its priceless artifacts.

    It's Bush's fault for supporting the Egyptian regime. :roll:

    More than sad it really ticks me off. This is like the Afghanistan JO who blew up all those Buddhist shrines that have been around for centuries.

    Why not also blame the tooth fairy? Personally I'd like to blame Kim jong Ill of North Korea.

    Well, if they had the G20 cops in Egypt, the violent protesters would all be running free, and the peaceful ones would all be in jail. And if Harper was involved, he would have built a virtual pyramid next to the real one at Giza.

    Losers! I understand standing up for your rights, for what you believe in, most of these people are standing up trying to stop being controlled by a regime. But it's morons like this that make it look like it's just a bunch of looters.

    I note that Egypt's protestors seem to be about 99% guys....I guess the chicks don't have a voice in the new Egypt either.....
