I’ve only seen a little about this in the MSM, but Anita McNaught’s report for the Murdoch Press on post-soccer win Iraq is significant. The comment toward the end of the segment from one Iraqi fan, that the soccer team has done more to unite the country than the Iraqi politicians, sounds right to me.

Like I said, unity is the will of the Iraqi people. Like all people, they want a chance to achieve their dreams. What a pity that certain institutions and terrorists prevent that.

Seems as though the captain has his own thoughts as to what needs to be done to achieve unity in Iraq..

I saw the interview: whatever the case, Iraq will certainly be a different place left in the hands of its own people, and not politicians (American, Iraqi or otherwise).

I am very happy for Iraq and its people. They have had little to celebrate and now they are champions. How wonderful this must feel. I hope the power of the team unity carries over throughout all its people.

I hope so, too, M. I really wanted to see the celebrations on TV so I could “live it” through the tube with them. Let’s hope their media have done a better job of highlighting this positive news than our ones here.
