This barbarism shows that mankind does not always progress, that the passage of time and technological advance does not always signal human progress. Despite the lack of cars, computers and TV, Iraq 3300 years ago had to be a much better place to live. I just wonder what will be 3300 years hence. Dinosaurs again? It's reverse Darwinism.
