Because we think we have the right to control the world, and countries like Peru have no say because we are America... we can do whatever we want.

What is truely sad is the artifacts were primarily packed away and out of public view and yet Yale has still been fighting returning them. THEY WEREN'T ON DISPLAY, they were collecting dust.

I am glad Peru is finally going to get some of their national treasures back. I visited Peru and Machu Picchu last year and learned the history of the "discovery" of Machu Picchu as well as the artifacts that were being held hostage by Yale. Truely sad.

And people wonder why the U.S. has a bad reputation when visiting foreign countries.
