If it truly were a hopeless quagmire...would we be reading this?
Despite the upheaval of recent months, Iraq will play in Asia-Oceania zone's Group 4 of the Davis Cup in Jordan in April, and new officials have taken over the Iraqi tennis federation since the downfall of the dictator.
"With the new regime, everything's changed," said Dave Miley, director of development of the London-based International Tennis Federation. "I don't recognize any names on the new list from the previous guys. It's going to be a huge learning experience." The federation last month dispatched balls and rackets to Iraq, and plans to send an expert to Baghdad when the security situation improves.
