I think some of what is said about repatriation or otherwise needs to be seen in terms of the particular interests of the authors.

There's a prominent American who is hugely big on the merits of moving Eastern stuff from "less developed" countries to the West. But he is also huge in buying and selling antiquities.

The London, New York, Paris, Rome antiquities markets, legal, illegal and in-between, are worth billions. There are an awful lot of people supporting the idea that the whole of the treasures of Iraq would be much better off in the hands of Western artifact collectors.
