Lights Out. If your hotel goes dark this weekend, don't be alarmed. To honor Earth Hour - organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to encourage businesses and people to take simple steps every day to reduce carbon emissions - many hotels and cities are turning off the lights on Saturday, March 28, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. The WWF hopes that it can get 1 billion people in more than 1,700 cities and towns in 80 countries to participate. Switching off your lights is a vote for the earth, says the WWF, while leaving them...

...able to be opened and the security situation improves. That's a legitimate, fair argument. I disagree with that argument, but it's a fair one. The ministry of tourism and antiquities, on the other hand, shares my belief, which is: open it today, one gallery for one hour. And tomorrow it's one gallery for two hours. And on and on. And you enable all of Iraq to take ownership of their museum and you enable, you force the world to sit up and take notice. Iraq is more than just bombs and war. It's about history...
