People are the government and people make mistakes.

Bamiyan for example - not rebuilt, becuase it would offend Islamists. Well them be offended, it is the right thing to do.
Can you imagine the Egyptians not rebuilding the pyramids if the Taliban blew it up because Islam forbids pictures of people, cats, crocs?

Bremer, the destroyer of Iraq - this loser fired all the Bathists from all positions, attempted to privatize all of Iraq industries and turned the entire Iraqi nation against the invasion & occupation of Iraq.
