Neurotic Iraqi Wife is an Iraqi-British woman living and working in the Green Zone. Here's her blog on the most important recent event: Iraq's victory over Saudi Arabia in football's Asian Cup.
Monday, 30 July 2007:
As our team scored its goal, we all started jumping up and down. They all got up from their chairs screaming, shouting, dancing, singing. It was amazing. I cried, I cried for it was extremely emotional. One of the US generals also joined the celebrations.
...It was nice to see everyone enjoying the moment. Everyone, without any exceptions.
In a war-torn country filled with rivers of blood and streets of charred flesh, it was as if God was smiling on us again.
How I wish I was in the Red Zone. How I wish I was amidst all this. The Green Zone came alive, and so did the rest of the country.
