And this news from the Olympics and Greece. Sports Illustrated is reporting that the Iraq national soccer team is calling on President Bush to stop running campaign ads using the team. In one ad, a narrator states “At this Olympics there will be two more free nations — and two fewer terrorist regimes.” The soccer team’s coach said “My problems are not with the American people. They are with what America has done in Iraq: destroy everything. The American army has killed so many people in Iraq. What is freedom when I go to the [national] stadium and there are shootings on the road?”
