Can't help it. Remembering Munich 1972

Yes, the massacre of the Israeli during the Olympics.

No doubt, there were many who blamed the Israelis for "ruining" the Olympics. Why, the organizers even today refuse to at least hold a moment of silence during ceremonies.

And now, in Sochi, that I really hope will end up with success and peace. Still, can't help it..
