I personally doubt he's at much of a risk from terrorism any more than if 
he lived on US territory. I feel equally safe out here (France) as anywhere 
else on the planet (My son and I both hold US passports as well as Japanese 
ones). It could just be Herren's out of shape again. Bologna has awesome 
food and his 0-3 shooting tells you a bit about the gap between his hype 
and the reality. In some ways I pity players who have coaches and systems 
that don't "fit" your game. Its not an uncommon temptation for a bench 
player to feel undervalued by a "dumb" coach. But gimmeabreak, this guy's a 
professional with a contract for more money than he's ever had.
