Ed... that's extremely funny.
Unfortunately for you, the US is not the official world government (Yet!), despite the actions and opinions of the Lord, our God, George Bush.
So the US Congress passes a resolution telling the IOC to pay for something? I can see tne IOC now with their tongue out, thumb on nose, fingers waggling, saying, "Pfffffftttt!" Oh, and good luck getting another Olympics in the country after that.
Talk about an overinflated opinion of the purview of one's country. Good grief.
PS - the next meeting regarding reintroduction of any sport to the Olympics is in 2009, and would apply to the 2016 Olympics.
PPS - this announcement is not London-centric and has nothing to do with the recent award of the Olympics to them.
