I wouldn't tell on my brother, but I would tell on another soldier if he committed a crime against human rights.
Iraq is still in the stone age technology wise, they don't contribute to the world at all. I haven't ever heard of an Iraqi inventing anything. They aren't really humans in a sense.
I'm not trying to be racist, it is true, Iraq hasen't contributed to the world at all, and if you show me proof that they invented something useful I will shut my mouth and take back everything I've said.
Gee, look what the non-humans "invented"............
Sophisticated irrigation systems, first cereal agriculture, earliest writing (cuneiform), pass on complex techniques to successive generations, full syllabic alphabet, recording the commerce of the times in great depth, double entry accounting practices (used to this day as a standard for record keeping), private properties, the numeral 60 based math system (which is the basis of time in the modern world), banking, recording of literature (like the epic of Gilgamesh), early calendars, bureaucratic system of priesthood, the first wars fought, the earliest legal comprehensive code known in history (Hammurabi Code), the first wheel, the first seed plow, the first sailboat, the division of circle into 360 degrees, invention of longitude and latitude in geographical navigation, the first sophisticated medical science, algebraic equations and invention of zero, and much much more, were all founded and developed in Iraq, in historical order, giving witness to the greatness the country has known over the centuries in terms of human achievements.
But other than that, what have the Romans done for us?
