There are so many layers to the Iraqi war discussion ... but after reading two or three articles about how Iraqi soccer players specifically have been treated in the past it really comes across as ungrateful to me for them to backlash the United States.
I was fine up to the "don't use us in your ads" thing but if anyone has a reason to thank their lucky stars that the Hussein regime was removed it should be these guys.

Is it not possible that Iraqi's are realizing the cure is worse than the disease? Why should they be grateful to Bush for leading an army that killed what must be at least one hundred thousand of his compatriots? They did not ask for this war, they did not want this war, and right now the people being interviewed feel they are worse off because of it. Maybe happened to their soccer team under Saddam pales to what all of his countrymen are facing now. How can you pretend that you know what is best for them? America invaded their country, why should they appreciate that?
