Given what I've read about the security for the Games, I can understand...

I don't blame her. I don't trust any euroweenies to keep the peace.

My thoughts exactly. No way would I trust Greek security with my safety. Not just al-Q, but 17 November will surely be planning something big.

I have been there. They have been gearing up for over two years. madrid just took something that was tense and stepped it up a few more notches. The US provided radiation detectors, they brought in israeli security consultants. I have seen on the street practice drills from as far back as a year ago.
This is comming out of england where the left is trying to score brownie points by saying blairs Iraq policy will mean the UK can not go to Greece. It is an effort to be anti-war. This is why this normal concern of a US athleat is being played up.
The construction will be ready, the fancy swimming dome is not going to be built. (the prime minister has personally taken charge of the project after the socialists were kicked out in favor of the conservative party).
Greek satelite TV is showing pictures of the stadiums and roads which have been built as part of a campaign to show the public what will remain after the games are over.

I wouldn't trust the Greeks with the security of the concession stands selling the large spongy fingers ("USA, GREECE etc #1")much less the entire games. I'd stay home too if I were an athlete.
