Sports Brings People Together.

The following barely edited sentence is presented without comment, since none is possible, from today's New York Times.

"Celebratory gunfire killed and wounded scores of persons (across the nation) after Iraq's national team defeated Vietnam 2-0 in soccer in Asian Cup competition."

For those of you scoring at home, and if you live in Baghdad, I'd strongly advise that's just where you do, depending on the result of a match today, Iraq's next opponent could be Iran. Celebratory car bombs are being prepared for the victory parade.
