I MEAN, HOW BAD CAN THINGS BE?

If they have time for this sort of stuff...
Iraq's top gym changed its name yesterday to "The Arnold Classic" to honor Arnold Schwarzenegger's win in California. From the man in the street to aspiring bodybuilders, Schwarzenegger has long been a near icon in the country.

"Before anything he is a champion," owner Sabah Mehdi said at his gym, where the country's top athletes have trained.

"He was a star of the movies. So it is no surprise that he is a champion politician. We need a strongman, a leader like him, in our country at this moment," said Mehdi.
