Story # Bassam_alrawi alert us to the Iraqi machines. Like many young men, they have either emigrated or been forced to join their families and have known nothing about their homeland. Nationalism for these is not the same as for those who live in Iraq. Especially if they have another homeland. He accompanied this young man who had done something he did not know was wrong.

You insulted him because he scored a goal and celebrated
