He is currently the strongest player and should be invited in the strongest
tournament.
Or is it that the morally bankrupt Gary used his influence somehow to keep
him out so that he may win and keep his rating points from coming down.

Why is everything always the fault of Kasparov?
Most likely they didn't get to a financial agreement, or Anand doesn't have
the time to play there or something.
It would surprise me if he wasn't invited, he probably just refused..
And your claim that Kasparov is afraid of Anand is not very likely too,
cause Kasparovs record in games against Anand is pretty impressive.
I think the last time Anand has beaten Kasparov was in 1995!

If Anand doesn't go...I sure hope someone has the good sense to offer an
invitation to GM Judit Polgar! I would DEARLY love to see a Kasparov vs
Polgar rematch. The last time they played against each other was that
controversial one in 1994 when Kasparov moved the wrong knight. I'm sure
GM Polgar has a long memory.

First of all, rumours have it that Polgar is pregnant and that's the reason
she didn't play in Wijk aan Zee and won't play in Linares.
Second, Kasparov and Polgar have played at least 12 games since the game you
mention. Record in those is 8 wins for kasparov 3 draws and 1 loss.

For all the gushing you do about Judit (nothing wrong with that in
itself), you should certainly know that that was NOT the last time they
played, and that Judit has even managed a win against The Beast since then.

Correct. Here's Judit's win over Kasparov from 2002 at the Chess Olympiad.
