From the website of the Iraqi National Library: "Immediately after the collapse of the Saddam regime and in the middle of the ensuing chaotic situation (9-12 April 2003), some arsonists set fire to various parts of the INLA’s main building, causing considerable structural damages. Almost all the equipments were destroyed or carried away. Most importantly, serious damages were inflicted upon the INLA’s collections of book, journals, files, records, photographs and maps. The Republican archive (1958-1979) was destroyed in its entirety. It is estimated that the library lost 25% of its collections, including its rare books, whereas the archive lost 60% of its collections, including invaluable Ottoman records." http://www.iraqnla.org/fp/News/news3.htm Seems to me that the US govt did not "let the INL get destroyed. The better question is, "Why did arsonists destroy the library?"

Civil law and order were sadly missing from the priority list of the occupying forces.
