They’re afraid to offend those who riot and plant bombs. Since Israel won’t do that, our a*& is grass. Note to Basques, Irish, Ruthenians, Kurds, all other minorities in the world: Terrorism pays. Bomb something and the world respects you. Play nice and they wipe their a@# on you. Let the chaos begin.
’ Terrorism pays. Bomb something and the world respects you.’
Oh, the irony.
The decision is an IOC one, not a British one.
Find another scapegoat.
My comment was directed at the IOC and the “International Community” in general, not the UK, except to the extent that they at times mirror said “Community,” in looking the other way, knuckling to implicit threats, and otherwise following Burke’s formula for assuring the triumph of wickedness, which in this case the UK did not do much more than anyone else. Find another bone of contention. I am not an Anglophobe. But I am becoming an Italophile.
