“a gigantic ‘soggy mess’”

actually it’s gonna be a gigantic ‘BLOODY’ mess.
as I will be amazed if there isn’t a huge terrorist attack during the games.

I worry about that too. Immensely. It seems that they have allowed hundreds of outright terrorists to immigrate there - which they TRY to keep an eye on, and probably thousands of terrorist wannabes just waiting for an opportunity to present itself. Muslims make up 8.5% of the population in England (upwards of 600,000), and 40% live in London.I also believe that the majority of all muslim immigrants and their offspring are quietly rooting for successful terrorist attacks.

Britain has hosted many major sports events in the last decade (European soccer finals, the Commonwealth Games etc), and not one had any trouble.

Given your debacle in 1996, I dont think Americans should be sitting in judgement.
