2004 is going to be one humdinger of a year. Not just the insanity that will surround the election and the absolute idiotic show that will be put on beforehand outside the Republican convention, but we also have Olympic Games in Athens.For security reasons, American track and field athletes at the Olympic Games in Athens next summer will not wear red, white and blue or anything with "USA" on it when they are not competing.Some will likely rant about a cowardly decision, how this is hiding from and letting terrorists and anti-Americans win, but I don't know if I can really ask these people living out a lifetime's dream to compete to go out and make a target of themselves.

does this mean blue jeans are illegal?
Not that the average euro can't spot an american a mile away - speaking as an american who lived in europe while growing up...
The French flag is also red, white and blue. Except for having "USA", how will the anti-Americans know they aren't attacking a cheese-eater?
If American athletes voluntarily wear red, white, blue, or wear "USA", or the like, then we aren't asking them to "make a target of themselves".
