"It's a sore-loser kind of move," Professor Spiro said. "If we can't win, we're not going to play."


What an idiot!

This isn't a game, the other sides don't play fair, and the stakes are high. It is NOT a game!

Peter J. Spiro, a law professor at the University of Georgia, said the withdrawal was unbecoming.

Sounds like Spiro is a typical Dimwit pinko prof with his panties in a bunch over W taking action to protect U.S. interests from frogs.
