More than politics
Mexico and Iran are currently playing in their opening world cup game. Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had planned to attend the game in support of the Iranian team. The German authorities have told Ahmadinejad that he is not welcome in their country and if he enters the country he will be arrested. The world cup is said to be transcendent over all differences including religion and politics and for the players it is. It is refreshing to see the German government drawing a line in the sand. Ahmadinejad has denied the holocaust occurred in addition to his insistence on development of nuclear weapons. Had the world cup been in France, I'm sure we would be seeing images of Ahmadinejad cheering from the stands.

I am glad that PUKE couldn't go!
that's awesome. Germany just moved down a spot on my "list of countries I wish would get swallowed by the Baltic Sea." Estonia has replaced Germany's spot, taking a close second to Sweden. (Estonia moves up only because they're called Estonia, and though that's sort of a cool name, well, they're smaller than both Wisconsin and Arizona. Enough said.)
yeah CHOKE HIM!!!
Germany has moved up on my list, witch isn't to high, even though i'm 100% Germman.
cbass where's the Love?????
