An Iraqi Oktoberfest

 No, really:

A beer hall in Iraq has held its own version of Munich’s famous Oktoberfest party – complete with frothy steins, sausages, an oom-pah band and dirndl-clad waitresses.

“We can make this festival with Iraqi people, Turkish people, Kurdish people, American people, German people, with (people from) all over the world in peace and in a real good mood,” he said after the three-night party ended on Sunday.

As of this writing, the press has not yet determined how this development is a victory for Muqtada Al-Sadr.

Welcome, Iraqi friends, to (almost) 200 year old German traditions! 

Prosit!

But, but… it’s a Muslim country and they hate Westerners and alcohol and women’s boobies and all that good stuff.
