I was thinking about other locations Worlds could be held, and I was wondering if we'll ever get a Worlds location outside of the U.S. I was looking at other cool places, and the best place to hold Worlds 2010 IMO would be in Somalia. (Map: http://www.worldcountries.info/Maps/Region/Africa-450-Somalia.jpg)
I've done a lot of reading on Somalia. Not only does it have a warm climate, but there's plenty to do, including tours & safaris. Somalia is home to wild horses, zebras, and other exotic animals. What's even better is that the flight isn't as far for most European countries, who usually have to fly all the way across the Atlantic ocean to play at Worlds. This gives Europeans a more "home court" advantage, and it also allows players in nearby countries like Kongo, Nigeria & South Africa more reasonable travel expenses if they wish to try to grind in to the event (assuming they haven't qualified already).

Think Somalia is beautiful during the day? Check out the breath-taking views of the night sky.
It's too early to tell for sure, but judging by all Somalia has to offer, I see no reason Worlds 2010 won't be in Somalia.
