Boo. Hiss.

This weekend, the Iroquois Nationals lacrosse team returned home, effectively abandoning their goal of playing in the 2010 World Lacrosse Championships in Manchester. The US government originally indicated that it would not allow the team back into the country. Even after the US State Department changed course, The UK government refused to issue visas to the team, as it did not recognize the validity of Haudenosaunee passports.

Well that's just great. Hooray for 18th Century diplomacy. Or 21st Century diplomacy. They look a lot a like some times. Ostensibly this is about the need to microchip everything now that 9/11 blahblahblah, but ultimately, the whole fiasco stems from a disagreement on which people are actually, you know, people.
