You know how they complained about nazi Germany doing book burning? Yeah they never told you that the Allied powers did book burning of their own. Japanese books from 1944 that talked about certain "no no" subjects got burned by occupying Allied powers. (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

I bet America also burned books in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya when those countries were occupied as well.

Libya was never occupied by the States. Also I highly doubt that anything of that sort happened in Iraq or Afghanistan. There was no reason for it and there was probably not much worth burning in the first place. Sensitive documents might have been destroyed but nothing more.

What makes you think it didn't happen in Iraq and Afghanistan when they did it to Germany and Japan?

First of all we would know about it. It's impossible to keep something of that scope secret. Second you need a complete military occupation to achieve it. Third unlike WW2 the goal of the Iraq and Afghanistan war was never to utterly destroy the Iraqi and Afghani people and culture.

But that is exactly what happened. ISIS (a CIA puppet org) was focussed on destroying historical artifacts. And multiple parties benefitted from erasing those identities.
