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!Â
Prosit!
Iraqis in lederhosen?
F@#$ing awesome man. Now we just need Iraqi women in Dirndl and we’re rolling.
But, but… it’s a Muslim country and they hate Westerners and alcohol and women’s boobies and all that good stuff.
