Iraq beats Syria
Iraq whipped Syria on the soccer field the other day. Major K. reports on the celebration.
With all their native explosives expertise and propensity for loud celebration, perhaps some enterprising Iraqi should start competing with China for the fireworks trade.
The problem is that what goes up must come down. Soon after the shooting began, the 7.62mm rain began. A total of 46 people went to local hospitals over the next 24 hours for treatment of their wounds from the falling bullets. No Americans were hurt, but I can't think of a more useless and preventable way to get shot. This happens all too frequently.... Would somebody please send something safer like bottle-rockets or firecrackers...??
