Who says they are coming after us? That's a bit short sighted.

With so many countries competing, there are going to be some countries that have beefs with each other and some nut job might decide that the Olympics is a good opportunity because of the world's attention is focused on London.

Lest we forget, the 1972 Olympics tragedy was held in West Germany but it was a Palestinian group Black September that targeted Israeli athletes.

We should not make enemies of each other then should we. You would of though we would of learned from the last 2 major wars, but not we have not we carry on invading other countrys all for the wrong reasons.
