Is the triumph of Iraq´s soccer team bad news?

Question

This fuels nationalism on Iraqis and this is not the plan of US govt.The plan is to split Iraq on 3 countries !
This will only help the policy of Mqtad al Sadr who is calling for Iraq´s unity against US invasion. In his last massive meetings ,thousands of Iraqi flags are seen...

Answer 1

Oh, whatever!
Where do you get your facts? The conspiracy theorist journal?
Instead of arguing by assertion, show some credible data indicating that the plan is to split Iraq into three countries.

As to the soccer win--it'd be great except that they celebrate by shooting live ammunition into the air. People are getting hit by stray bullets as we speak. Oops.

Answer 2

good for iraq. they haven't had anything to celebrate about and ITS OUR FAULT!! they have all the right to feel the nationalism they are talking about. america should be absolutely ashamed. i am a lifetime repbulican and i am so shamed by my party. the iraqi that are fighting the americans but not attacking other iraqi, those iraqi are good people doing what i would be doing if i were under the same situation. much the same as our george washington and our founding fathers. i, for one, hope iraq wins the world cup

Answer 3

I think it gives the Iraqis a chance to think about something else besides the war, so no, it's not bad news

Answer 4

It's bad news to the Liberals who want no good news to come from Iraq. They are invested in defeat.

Answer 5

Its only bad news for the liberal press because no one died at the end of the game.

Answer 6

No, let them be happy for 1 second in almost 5 years!
