I just read (or admittedly angrily scanned) an outrageous blog on an associated site complaining about all the people who had problems getting into the U.S. for the world championship. Perhaps (since most people know well in advance of their expected attendance), it would not be unreasonable (in fact, in my eyes, mandatory) to seek advice how to assure that their papers were in order and acceptable. Maybe this should have been investigated prior also by those at the helm here in the States – suspecting that in these times of terrorism (not threats – but terrorism in living color), some would be refused admission without formal pre-arranged documentation.
After 911 and the dozens of other successful and foiled plots, I was proud to hear that the United States is so overprotective of its citizens, residents and visitors. To even suggest that no other world championships be held here is PREPOSTEROUS. What our government did (or didn’t do) was in the interests of the safety of all those are on our shores – which is their first and foremost responsibility.
