Who Owns Ancient Symbols?

google_earth_photo.jpgAccording to an LA Times article the US Navy is going to make some changes in the structure of a barracks in Southern California to the tune of $600,000. When it was being built, the design seemed benign enough. And from the ground it raised nary an eyebrow. But from Google's eye in the sky (see photo) it looks like a swastika. The only problem is that this symbol is more than 3,000 years old, and may have originated in India.

Once a sacred symbol has been hijacked by monsters, is there any way ot take it back?
