We do not, under any circumstances, want to denude New York of its cultural treasures.
If it's legal, great, we should keep it.
But if it's illegal, then it should go back to the country of origin.
But how does that happen?
Bogdanos manage that?
Every country treats these differently, but we have yet to have a country who hasn't just been over the top, appreciative, and extraordinarily gracious.
We returned in antiquity to Iran.
Wait a second.
The US doesn't have diplomatic relations with Iran.

I'm not a politician.
We'd returned a piece to the Palestinian Authority.
Now move the map to Southeast Asia, India, Thailand, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Pakistan.
For that area of the world, these antiquities are idols.
They are worshipped.
And the number of times I have gone into a temple in India, in southern India particularly, and it's empty.
And they're still worshiping the empty pedestal, or they have a photograph of an idol that was stolen, or they have a wax or wooden model.
And now this goes in someone's Fifth Avenue apartment.
