Iraqis -- long ruled by another strongman, Saddam Hussein

Would Reuters have called Hitler a strongman?

Ted Bundy, Charles Manson, Idi Amin? Sick. Sick. Sick!

Golly, I think even I am getting a bit of the "small world" warm feelings.
As much as I dislike the commercialism, it's great to see that these three hurting
countries will at least have someone show up to carry their flags in the opening/closing
ceremony.

And for the Iraqi team...they're getting the bonus plan: No Uday back home
to torture them if they don't bring back the gold medal!
