The good news was Iraq had it's appeal in the mail.

The bad news was Halliburton is running the Iraqi Post Office.

I think they should be allowed to participate. I think it would be a very good thing to see an Iraqi team at the Olympics. I think it would be good for the world in general.

Well, considering china has arrested over 30 terrorists plotting to attack the Olympics, I can see why they banned the teams.

Because Israel is not a terrorist state, it's called defense.

Iraq is not a terrorsts state either.

I seem to remember the case when the Israeli physician who perpetrated the massacre in the city of Hebron, killing 29 Muslims at prayer in the Ibrahimi Mosque (within the Cave of the Patriarchs) and wounding another 150 in a shooting attack.

I think both sides call thier cause "defense" and the other side is "murdering". From the outside looking in, it looks like both sides are committing similiar crimes.

You seem to forget that the Cave of the Patriarchs is a JEWISH mausoleum. Every single body in there is a person of JEWISH significance. And before Israel gained control of Hebron where the COTP is, the muslims only allowed the Jews to the SEVENTH step. They didn't even allow them inside. The same was with the Western Wall, jordan destroyed over 50 Synagogues and didn't allow Jews access to the Western Wall. islam is a religion that takes prophets from other religions. islam says jesus, Moses, Abraham, Issac, Jacob are all islamic prophets that were sent by allah by the Jews and christians took them as their own prophet. And tell me how muhammed ascended to heaven in the SAME EXACT spot where the Great Temple was when he died in medina which is in saudi arabia?

Moses, Abraham, Issac, Jacob are all islamic prophets that were sent by allah but* the Jews and christians took them as their own prophet.

Meanwhile Syria Sudan and all those western loving countries are still in. I understand it was because the Iraqi government was switching players- however banning them alltogether is sure to go over smoothly and cause no problems-- I feel bad for the athelets-- What an opportunity wasted..so unfortunate--At least our government........errrr nevermind
