We found Exocet missles in Iraq that had English placards on them from the manufacturer. English is the language of the arms trade in general. The speed dials in the driver's compartment were not Arabic numerals and the instruments were labeled in English as well. Strange, but true.

Amazing but there is a sense of logic to it.

What where they? Roman numerals? Here are Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0
