To help the US get out of Iraq...the rest of the world needs to help Iraq

Now were banning Iraq from the Olympics. The IOC needs to work with Iraq to bring them onto the world stage and stop treating them like a red-headed step child. So there are problems with the Iraqi National Olympic Committee. With time before the opening ceremony and the start of the Olympics; wouldn't it be better to give the Iraqi's something to unite for...like six athletes competing at the Olympics?

I was in Iraq when the soccer team had it's better than average run at the soccer championship..and guess what...the country was quite content with not fighting so much and watching their soccer games. We could almost guarantee an ambush or an IED (improvised explosive device) after games when Iraq lost, but so long as they were winning...things were quite (At least in the area that I was in, cannot speak for the entire country). So the IOC, much like the Democratic Party is causing the military in Iraq more hardship, because now once again we are not treating Iraq like a sovereign nation, but an occupied territory.

Lets start giving Iraq's the international respect they deserve.
