Welcome Back
I am not a fan of soccer matches but I like to watch the opening ceremony. Yesterday, while I was watching the opening ceremony of Arabian Gulf Cup I was really touched by the song that was welcoming Iraq again.
Well, I don’t know what others feel.
But I feel so happy to say:
“Welcome Back”

This tournment should be canceled. It is a waste of time and money.
Purg,
Long time no see.. missed your comments
bo rashed,
Yes it was short and simple. because the main thing is the soccer matches not the ceremony.
Ebreaz,
Welcome to my Blog.
It was only one post that I did not comment on :)
I don't mix between the people and the governments & I do understand that the Iraqi people were victims of Saddam. But two days ago I saw AlJazeera sport channel hosting Adnan Dirjal (Ex-player at Iraqi National team). For those who didn't know, Adnan was in Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion and his assignment was to look for Kuwaiti players, & i'm talking about those who played in official clubs. Kuwait club's player Adel Abbas was interviewed once & stated that he & other Kuwaiti players was chased by Adnan Dirjal and his men! So basically there are some Iraqis who participated in torturing & kidnapping Kuwaiti men & women, and in some way got away with what they did & now they’re getting cheers & applauses by us!!
People, I know some of you might say what happened has happened and we all should forget about it.. but for God's sake have some respect to the Kuwaiti families who are still awaiting any news about their beloved ones!
Again.. I'm not mixing things up here, but let us just remember that there are many men and women who had sacrificed their lives for this country & if other people were cheering for Iraq like they've just arrived from the moon... I don’t think we aren't obliged to do so.

bo ghazi,
You are right.
But please imagine with me this situation: “A child living with his own parents who don’t allow him to speak hit him on his head every, give him one meal a day, kill his brothers in front of him, refuse to let him play with other kids”
What do you expect from him; to be a good boy, I don’t think so; but I think we should give him another chance and let him live with another family, a better one.
By the way,
welcome to my blog
True faith,
I do understand what you mean, & I assure you that I respect ur point of view. However, I wonder if you would've felt the same if you had a relative who is a POW... just think about it. Think of someone who is close to you & share love with you. A father, a mother, a brother. Think of Asraa`a AlQabandi's family, or Wafa`a Al3amir or even the families who have received the news that their relatives bodies have been located with a shot on the back of their skull's as an assurance of being dead after suffering all the torture.
My cousin is an Iraqi. Lived al his life in Kuwait & still is, & for him he would never leave Kuwait coz he consider it his home where he was born & raised in. Do I blame him for what happened, OF COURSE NOT, & I don't blame the other Iraqi citizens who suffered from Saddam..
I will not cheer & go crazy for the Iraqi team welcome back, not because I hate them, but because I want to pay some respect to our martyrs God bless their souls.
bo ghazi,
even though I don't have relatives in Iraq prisons but I am still a Kuwaiti girl who cares about her country. But I am sorry I can't hate a person for a long time.
The matter brother is not the team; the matter is giving another chance.
I am in pain for loosing people who I don't know but care about, and I am also in pain for having a neighbor as an enemy.
I didnt want to comment on this post,but as BoGhazi started I will speak!
TrueFaith U know that I didnt like this post and that I disagree with it ... I will still hate the Iraqis no matter what !
:(
