They just won the Asian Cup… That is so great!
As I suspected (having been in Baghdad during the Doha Games playoffs last winter, and for the Saddam verdict), there was a large amount of “celebratory gunfire” afterward…
The victory was hailed by a barrage of gunfire in Baghdad as thousands of Iraqis, including members of the security forces, defied a strict government ceasefire order to celebrate their victory.
This is a good thing, though, for the country. It tends to promote national unity, something that the beleaguered country really needs right now. (Though Al Qaeda usually can’t resist bombing a few celebrations. Ugh.)
