PERSPECTIVES YOU Real life is not a game

What better a way to show how peaceful the world could be than the 2004 Olympic games. Before the games started many were concerned about terrorist attacks. These concerns may have affected the ticket sales, but it didn’t affect the spirit of the athletes that were competing.

The opening ceremony, although long at times, brought the best of all nations to one stadium. I’m not really sure why we can all get along at the Olympics, but can’t seem to get along any other time. Maybe if diplomacy revolved around a swimming meet or a beach volleyball game the world would be a better place.
