Life (or the risk of lives) in general is probably what has kept quite a few team managers from urging their riders to go over to Europe.  I know w/ the security risks of traveling overseas (remember how much us USA citizens are hated right now), I don't even consider traveling overseas right now.  Sometimes it seems like we forget the bigger picture going on right now...even bigger than MX pride.

DAMON, sorry...I truly love visiting your country, but no way over the past 3 years have I wanted to travel back to it...its just too dangerous.  If somebody wants to make the argument that it is knee-jerk reactionism, well I guess that is their right...but did anybody notice the amount of security at the Olypics?  Its not that we are thumbing our noses at it, its just a tough time to trek overseas.  So if asbence is wrong, well that is something I guess we can live with.  I would rather deal w/ that than an American being made an example of b/c security measures were too expensive/not adequate for safe passage.
