The folks in Iraq, the folks that Belong in Iraq who play the game of soccer, Football to those not within the borders of the United States, have Proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the populous of Iraq CAN work together in harmony and celebrate together in harmony.

So, if the three religious factions can come together in a game, why cannot they come together in everyday life and work within themselves to produce a harmonious country, et al?

Perhaps the unified victory of the Iraqi soccer team is just the spark that is needed in their homeland to stir the emotions of Iraqi citizens and lay the groundwork for many great changes for all concerned.

Hopefully this will be a beautiful thing to watch.

My hearty congratulations to the Iraqi soccer team. You've won more than just a game.
