#1 Given how much time we spend worrying about guns, it is a shame that we could not even win the Olympic shooting event...

Ouch! This guy hit it right on the head and with many bitch-slaps thrown in for good measure. Maybe someone will actually read it and take it to heart in the Arab world.
And maybe monkeys holding $100 bills will start flying out of my ass.

#2 Can't do that for the same reason softball is being dropped as an Olympic sport -- the winner is always the same ...

Uhhh not this year. Japan won gold

#3 They have no excuse. There were Olympics before Mo-Ham-Head's time, Gold, Silver, Bronze were all around then. Competition, victory, defeat, discipline, sacrafice, all of that was there in Mo's time. They're all about recognition, but not fair competition. This is an interesting question about the modern Arab psyche.

#4 Synchronized diving in burkhas would've made for some good comedy.

#6 They are obviously discrimanating against Muslims. We need more events out which they can show off their stuff - like head loping and reaching for the most ourageous examples to take offence at.
