Soccer Prevents Iraq Civil War
AmsterdanThe juxtaposition on the 6/16/06 New York Times front page was inspired: "Argentina Crushes Serbia-Montenegro" next to "Mosque Bombing Kills at Least 11 in Baghdad". "Crushing" in front of billions has got to be at least as emotionally satisfying as killing in front of hundreds. Let's organize Sunni's and Shiia's into soccer teams and duke it out in internationally televised soccer matches with the whole world watching. Not for all the marbles, just one game to settle each dispute as it arises. With Al Jazeera TV revenues and international corporate sponsorships we could employ thousands currently out of work and maybe even raise a couple of extra bucks for reconstruction.
