This is sad. I understand the IOCs position. I also understand the Iraqi position. This may not be a time to make the strictest enforcement of internal IOC rules. I agree that unusual factors in Iraq make complete compliance with the rules very challenging. The goal of the games is to rise above petty politics, but that may be too much of a challenge. Let's hope a deal can be arranged.

dont forget, the games about about the games and the participants, not about politics, especially this year, right? you bet.
