I normally don't think any country should be excluded from international sports for political reasons (including extreme cases such as Taliban Afghanistan, Apartheid South Africa, Nazi Germany, etc), but this is one case where I do support banning Iraq from all international sports. The IOC and FIFA, as the 2 biggest international sports governing bodies, have to take the lead in doing this. This is not for political reasons but simply for the safety of the athletes. If they can't compete, they can't lose. Alex
