For those who don't know, Iraq is still currently undergoing warfare in certain areas. There are insurgents from Iran and Syria who would love nothing more than for Iraq to fall on it's face. And most CERTAINLY they don't want the world to see a free and prosperous Iraq, in the form of it's finest atheletes, competing on the world stage in Athens.
So it would stand to reason that these insurgets would try to kill Iraq's Olympians before they got out of the country. However, as you may have noticed, Iraq's Olympians not only made it to Athens, but their soccer team is whumping up on it's opponents.
Because the Royal Australian Air Force made sure they got there safe.
Good on ya, mates!
