And in sports news, the NBA has named Steve Nash of the Phoenix Suns the league’s Most Valuable Player, edging out the Miami Heat’s Shaquille O’Neal. Nash has spoken out publicly against the occupation of Iraq. At the 2003 All-Star game, Nash wore a T-shirt that read, “Shoot baskets not people.” When questioned about the shirt, Nash said, “I think that war is wrong in 99.9 percent of all cases.” He went on to say that the invasion of Iraq “is more about oil than it is about nuclear weapons.”
