I watched the opening ceremonies of the Athens Olympics the other night. Good stuff. The U.S. got a somewhat warm reception from the Athens crowd. The commentator on TV said that Greeks are able to seperate their dislike of the U.S. government’s foreign policy and their views of American citizens. I wish it was the case all over the world.
Unfortunately this is not the case. Terrorists cannot seem to seperate American foreign policy with American citizens. Therefore they choose to harm American citizens to achieve their purpose.
I was glad to see Afghanistan and Iraq in the Olympics. One late night comedian joked that the Afghani’s probably don’t want to return home. Would you?
