You know what I think is going to be a really moving, and important upcoming event? The appearance of the Iraqi National Soccer team at the Summer Olympics. That story was ignored by the venal press, but that is a tearjerker that is going to MOVE the American people.

When those guys walk into the Olympic Stadium as free Iraqis ... the contrast of their triumph against Uday's torture of Iraqi Olympic athletes just three years before will be an indelible and seminal image.

It's going to be a big symbolic boost to the understanding of what we've accomplished in that country and for that people.

NBC will break for a commercial when they enter the arena. Bet you cash money.
