::::I disagree with the removal as a whole.  How can you argue that events in Athens is irrelevant to the marbles?  I DO agree that some parts are irrelevant,though.  I think some discussion of the moving of the marbles from the site to the new museum is relevant- and could stand for both side of the argument on restitution- now that, if the marbles were returned, they wouldnt be exposed to the elements.  The reasoning behind the move to new museum could also be merged into one, eg "to protect from atmospheric damage the marbles have been moved..." etc  Unless, of course, we are talking about the Elgin marbles only in the strictest sense. (NB, I have yet to read other discussion points)
