As archaeologists, we very much appreciate the work of SAFE. To create public awareness about the loss of cultural heritage is a vital issue.

The work that SAFE is doing is critical, not only for Iraq's cultural heritage, but also for the heritage of all mankind. All those who enjoy the benefits of democracy have a duty to stand up and support those actions that will stop the destruction of history.
