We should focus on the olympics. Remember what they stand for. A reason to prove your nation superiority without bombing the other guy.

And as for the Middle East. Let me tell you. Iraq and Al-Quaeda were mortal enemies. So by invading Iraq. We helped Al-Quaeda message that the US is evil, and should be destroyed, to all corners of the Islamic world.

Very true, it was more of an interesting thought experiment than anything else. Too late now, anyways.
