Every day I read about the violent deaths of U.S. soldiers and civilians in Iraq. Approximately 4,300 coalition members have died in Iraq including 174 Britons. Some estimates list the number of Iraqis who have died at 80,000.

All this blood shed in the name of democracy and Britain can’t even allow a work permit for Nashat Akram, 24, a young Iraqi hero to play for Manchester City Football Club? (Full Story: LATimes)

Sports bring us together and Britain should allow Akram to play for Manchester. I’m angry and ready to accompany an international team of ball-kicking envoys to help get this kid to play. I recommend the UFC’s Mirko Cro-cop to bust through the door to get everyone’s attention and then Madeleine Albright and Tony Blair can smooth out the situation over high tea. Let’s get the Brits to TapOut.
