Many American athletes as well as Olympic
hopefuls from other parts of the world are
hesitant to compete in Sochi, Russia in light of
recent terrorist threats from radical Muslims
who have already staged attacks in that country.
Some who call themselves "black widows," or
women who lost their terrorist husbands to
police, are seeking revenge via suicide attacks.
Apparently it was enough for the State
Department to issue warnings to Americans
traveling to the 2014 Winter Olympics and to
request that athletes do not wear "USA" logos
beyond the immediate games venues.
My take is: if we Americans can't prevent
something like the Boston Marathon bombing, I'd
be surprised if the Russians could prevent an
incident in Sochi.
