The attack on the Kuwaiti Consulate in Basra is a violation of national sovereignty and an assault on our neighbor, Kuwait. This is unacceptable, does not reflect the vision of the gov., and is rejected by the Iraqis.
The Iraqi government must hold these lawbreakers accountable.
Seguiremos estando en deuda con el gran pueblo de México por el amor, apoyo, aliento y la inmensa bienvenida que nos brindaron. Esperamos poder devolverles este favor algún día, desde el interior de Irak.
We will remain forever indebted to the great people of Mexico for the indescribable love, support, encouragement, and warm welcome they provided. We hope to return this favor one day, from within Iraq.

Durante años, y por culpa de los políticos, Irak ha sido asociado con guerras, conflictos, crisis e inestabilidad política; así es como el mundo entero lo conoció. Pero hoy, el equipo de los «Leones de Mesopotamia» le ha mostrado al mundo un Irak que ama la vida y el deporte.
For a long time, and because of politicians, the name of Iraq has been associated with wars, conflicts, crises, and political instability; that is how the whole world knew it. But today, the 'Lions of Mesopotamia,' team, have shown the world an Iraq that loves life and sports.
Estuvieron a nuestro lado de una manera que nunca olvidaremos, y esperamos que llegue el día en que podamos devolverles el gesto. ¡Somos muy parecidos, mexicanos!
