An incident from 25 years ago is just that, a historical stake in the ground.

Unfortunately similar reports can be made about many places in the world today including places like Chicago, New York, etc.

It is the time worn tradition of only talking about the one bad apple in a barrel when all the rest are just fine.

If the State Department allows travel without warning that is a more true cross section of reality.

We all have differing outlooks of what is unacceptable.

My opinion, Putin is accomplishing what he set out to do an Sochi and other parts of Russia will benefit.

The opening ceremonies last night rival ANY of the best done to date. Congratulations to the PEOPLE who made it happen.
