olympic games

[lada]

.. will be pretty soon.

I were just trying to recall some rules regarding OG.

If i remember correctly, country in War were not allowed to enter for a long time.

So if we will check American way of thinking, all other states should boycot games

You don't remember correctly.

We're not in a war.  Bush says so.

I don't want the US team to go anywhere near Greece.  Why should they die like the Israelis in 1972 ?

you right

It were like this. If there were a war, it had to be stop during the OG.

In ancient times wars were stopped to accomodate the Games. The USOC has never disallowed the participation of a member who was "at war". The games were canceled in 1916, 1940 and 1944 due to some minor conflicts   .

I'm assuming you are from a formerly Eastern block country pre-1989, am I correct?
