Very proud of them, but part of me thinks they should be building schools for their children and ensuring militias aren’t taking over their neighborhoods rather than kicking a stupid ball around.

You wrote that it would be better to build schools than to kick a ball around.

Everything has its importance. It’s called a well-rounded life. Give them a break! They’ve had so many horrible years, can’t they just have one day where they win something?

And in 1980, a foreign investor could have watched a certain hockey game and remarked, “boy that would be a worthwhile country if they just did something about stagflation.” I’m just saying, you have to start somewhere.

This moment of shared victory did more towards building a cohesive, terror-resistant Iraq than a whole armoured brigade.

They should kick the “stupid ball” around some more.

everyone is talking about the possibility of civil war in Iraq. This is the kind of thing that unites the country

You'll be happy to know that schools ARE being built and Iraqi's ARE ensuring militias aren't taking over their neighborhoods.

Lighten up.

They need to get along with each other to do these other things.
This win can help them do that hopefully.
