Looters in Iraq have stormed not only museums and government buildings, but hospitals. Hospital guards have fled in fear, medical records have been burned, and doctors have been stalked by robbers and vandals. Contaminated water (sound familiar?--that's right--Desert Storm) has caused an increase in illness, and humanitarian organizations have had difficulty getting food and clean water into the country.

None of this is a surprise. However, the occupying forces chose not to guard museums, libraries, government buildings and hospitals. However, it is reported that they are on the job 24/7 guarding the Iraqi oil wells.
