    This is a terrible loss.
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    What a shame that it was a total loss and what a shame that it had so few visitors.

    This was sad, I heard about it on the radio. Was it true, they didn't have a sprinkler system?

    My Brazilian brother of another mother said they hadn't been keeping up maintenance and the Louvre had more Brazilian visitors than the National Museum.
