Dear Europe, you're welcome. Again.

This week, the soccer world was shaken to its foundations by the arrest of top officials of FIFA on U.S. corruption charges. This was the Obama administration’s doing — at long last, Obama has made a foreign policy decision that is both popular and sound.

FIFA is the governing body of international soccer, best known for putting on the world’s largest sporting event every four years – the prestigious World Cup. The charges allege what many have long suspected – that FIFA officials invite bribery bidding-wars in order to determine where games are held, who gets to televise them and nearly any other imaginable decision FIFA makes.
