Soccer Hero NOT returning to the IraqNam
Ya can't even make this shit up:

If I go back to Iraq anybody could kill me, says hero football captain

The captain of Iraq's victorious football teams has said he will not return to his home country because he fears being killed...

"One of my closest friends, they (the authorities) came to arrest him and for one year neither me nor his family knew where he was.

"I want America to go out," he said. "Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the American people didn't invade Iraq and hopefully it will be over soon."...

3. To the Iraqis the American people did
and to the rest of the world we all get the blame for what our government has done. I didn't support it, you most likely didn't support it but the world sees it as the Americans and then they see * reelected so they blame us all.

4. Well, yeah
That's what Osama said. And he's right. This is a democratic country. What our government does, it does in our name. We are responsible, to an extent.
