One of the TV news programs had a short clip of the Iraq SO a week or so
ago. Apparently they've started back to playing. They showed a clip of
them playing something traditional -- I don't remember what -- and then the
Iraqui national anthem, which was not allowed to be played under the former
political structure. This was the point of the article -- tears in the
audience because they could hear their anthem. I assume the sound was
recorded by the mic on the videocamera, because it was pretty bad.
