I say if your country got looted because you got your butt handed to you in a war, TOO BAD! Dems da breaks. Stop whining about it, and hope the country that has all of your artifacts is nice enough to put them in a museum that everyone can enjoy.
I get tired of all this "They took my stuff 200 years ago, and I want it back!". All these people griping about their dead ancestor's possesions, or land and asking for it back. Hey, guess what? That's life, so unless you want to build a marauding army and fight and spill blood for said plunder, get over it, and go enjoy the artifacts in the disputed museum like every other person.
Nationalism in terms of objects is WAY over rated.
