- W2188616621 abstract "Vignette In busy downtown London a boisterous crowd gather around a large LCD Screen to watch the 2007 Asian Football Championship final between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Everyone is charged with excitement and anticipation. The Saudi team are the clear favourites. But sport has many nuances, twists and turns and as the game concludes the unexpected has occurred. The Iraqi team finds itself the winners of this prestigious tournament. Many in the gathered crowd fall silent and many silently weep. But the weeping, we observe, is not tears of distress but tears of joy. This situation interests us immensely, and as we reflect on this experience a number of questions spring to mind. Why are these Westerners weeping with joy for Iraq? How could a country ravaged by war put together a team to perform so meritoriously in such a prestigious tournament? Why are these Iraqis even here, given their country’s situation? How could the players focus on a game when their countrymen and woman are dying in the streets back home? What possible meaning has this for the rest of the world? The more we reflect on this remarkable scene the more we start to ponder the power and potential of sport in the peacekeeping and peace making process. In particular we ponder the current conflict situations in Asia and wonder how sport might be used to make a difference." @default.
