Since the city with the least votes drops out after each round, in the end it's gonna be a decision between two cities, there's not much to be split anymore.
And concerning the 9/11 card: Who knows what's gonna be printed on the Iraq-card next year?

Didn't know there was that many rounds. I am well aware of the anti-americanism, they talk about it in every Olympics voting article and it can be felt here as well LOL. Anyway, I figure Paris will get it like I said.

I don't think they care about other events too much in so far as diversification goes. France did '98 WC and a recent world track champioships and the IOC seems to see it as a plus since it mean Paris could handle the event. The city they choose must have the infrastructure to handle the Olympics, and that's why the S.American cities didn't get through.
