Is there an equality of power between America and Iraq? Definitely not; however, the Iraqi people are standing fast and are defending their land courageously.

Today, the Iraqi citizen sees that America is coming and wants to occupy his country and kill him, and he is willing to experience for himself what happened in Palestine.

America has shown its evil intentions, and the proud Iraqi people cannot accept it. They must defend their rights by any means they see fit.

The U.S. and Britain are incapable of controlling all of Iraq.

But the issue has to do with land, which is our land.

Sports can unify the Iraqi people - no Sunnis, no Shiites, just sport for the country.
