And the Luge They Rode

And the Luge They Rode In On - International Olympic officials, upset about the intensely nationalistic fervor and intense security at the Salt Lake City games, are pondering never staging an Olympics in the US again.

I have also groaned, in past Olympiads, at some of the "America First" angles of the media coverage, and the boorishness of some American fans (who, on a bad day, act like Scottish soccer fans). But for Stu's sake, what does the IOC expect?

And I'm sure, as the article notes, that the fact that the IOC was punished for taking bribes in setting up this Olympic Games has nothing to do with the story...

The IOC, like the UN, is an international body we could probably do well without.
