In a shocking upset, the Iraqi National Team defeated Saudi Arabia 1-0, winning the prestigious Asian Cup. The winning goal was headed in by Younis Mahmoud, a Sunni. Slight problem: many Sunni political factions in Iraq feel they have been disenfranchised by the Shiite majority. Saudi Arabia, a primarily Sunni nation and the victim of Iraq's newfound soccer prowess, is thought by many to be the leading contributor of foreign insurgents currently making mischief in Iraq. As a result, Mahmoud and another Sunni teammate have declined to return to Iraq to join in the bullet-riddled festivities, citing fears for their lives.
Everyone repeat to yourself: Saudi Arabia is our friend....Saudi Arabia is our friend....
